Prkag3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Contributes to AMP-activated protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to glucose starvation; regulation of carbohydrate metabolic process; and regulation of carbon utilization. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process and response to muscle activity involved in regulation of muscle adaptation. Part of nucleotide-activated protein kinase complex. Orthologous to human PRKAG3 (protein kinase AMP-activated non-catalytic subunit gamma 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 Prkag3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
