Steap3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including FAD binding activity; heme binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on metal ions, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in endosome membrane and multivesicular body. Predicted to be active in endosome and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human STEAP3 (STEAP3 metalloreductase). [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 Steap3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
