Dact3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including delta-catenin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and negative regulation of cell growth. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human DACT3 (dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 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 Dact3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
