Itgb3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Contributes to fibrinogen binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell migration; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Located in apical plasma membrane; cell surface; and focal adhesion. Part of integrin complex. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Biomarker of bacterial pneumonia; glomerulonephritis; myocardial infarction; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura; blood platelet disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; myocardial infarction; and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. Orthologous to human ITGB3 (integrin subunit beta 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 Itgb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
