Trpc3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables calcium-activated cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of calcium ion transport into cytosol; positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; and response to ATP. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of cation channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia type 41. Orthologous to human TRPC3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 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 Trpc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
