Dhrs3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity and all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in retinol metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including heart morphogenesis; negative regulation of retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of ossification. Predicted to be located in membrane. Orthologous to human DHRS3 (dehydrogenase/reductase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Dhrs3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
