Hacd3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and very-long-chain (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipid biosynthetic process; positive regulation by virus of viral protein levels in host cell; and positive regulation of viral genome replication. Predicted to act upstream of or within JNK cascade and Rho protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human HACD3 (3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase 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 Hacd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
