Gng3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable G-protein beta-subunit binding activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be located in cell body; dendrite; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Predicted to be active in synapse. Orthologous to human GNG3 (G protein 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 Gng3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
