Celf3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 7SK snRNA binding activity and mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splice site recognition; positive regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; lncRNA transcription; and nuclear body organization. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human CELF3 (CUGBP Elav-like family 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 Celf3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
