Lmod3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin monomer binding activity and tropomyosin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including actin nucleation; positive regulation of skeletal muscle fiber development; and striated muscle cell development. Predicted to be located in M band. Predicted to be active in striated muscle thin filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 10. Orthologous to human LMOD3 (leiomodin 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 Lmod3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
