Nprl3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in cellular response to amino acid starvation; negative regulation of TORC1 signaling; and positive regulation of autophagy. Predicted to act upstream of or within circulatory system development and roof of mouth development. Predicted to be part of GATOR1 complex. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial focal epilepsy with variable foci 3. Orthologous to human NPRL3 (NPR3 like, GATOR1 complex subunit).

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 Nprl3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
