Akp3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables alkaline phosphatase activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in response to nutrient levels. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory bowel disease. Orthologous to several human genes including ALPG (alkaline phosphatase, germ cell) and ALPI (alkaline phosphatase, intestinal). [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 Akp3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
