Glrx3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly; cell redox homeostasis; and negative regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Located in dendrite. Orthologous to human GLRX3 (glutaredoxin 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 Glrx3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
