Dnm3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables G protein-coupled glutamate receptor binding activity; GTPase activity; and enzyme binding activity. A structural constituent of postsynapse. Involved in several processes, including filopodium assembly; positive regulation of synaptic vesicle recycling; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine head; postsynaptic density; and synaptic cleft. Part of apical tubulobulbar complex and basal tubulobulbar complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic endocytic zone membrane. Orthologous to human DNM3 (dynamin 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 Dnm3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
