Gata3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; histone methyltransferase binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cochlea development; response to gamma radiation; and type IV hypersensitivity. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleoplasm. Biomarker of asthma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypoparathyroidism; hypoparathyroidism-deafness-renal disease syndrome; nephrosis; and sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human GATA3 (GATA binding protein 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 Gata3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
