P3h2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables procollagen-proline 3-dioxygenase activity. Involved in collagen metabolic process and peptidyl-proline hydroxylation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; basement membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human P3H2 (prolyl 3-hydroxylase 2). [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 P3h2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
