Prmt3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables modified amino acid binding activity and protein-arginine omega-N asymmetric methyltransferase activity. Involved in dendritic spine morphogenesis and peptidyl-arginine methylation, to asymmetrical-dimethyl arginine. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of asthma. Orthologous to human PRMT3 (protein arginine methyltransferase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Prmt3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
