Nol3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; death effector domain binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and negative regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration. Located in mitochondrion and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human NOL3 (nucleolar protein 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 Nol3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
