Itpr3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including alcohol binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to cAMP; and positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; brush border; and nuclear outer membrane. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ITPR3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3).

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 Itpr3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
