Apba3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables amyloid-beta binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chemical synaptic transmission and negative regulation of catalytic activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; dendritic spine; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human APBA3 (amyloid beta precursor protein binding family A member 3).

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 Apba3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Domain present in PSD-95, Dlg, and ZO-1/2
  • enzyme inhibitor activity
  • canonical PDZ domain
  • enzyme binding
  • beta-amyloid binding
  • protein binding
  • phosphotyrosine binding domain
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
  • PDZ domain
  • cpPDZ_Deg_HtrA-like
  • cpPDZ_RseP_YlbL-like
