Gcnt3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables N-acetyllactosaminide beta-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within intestinal absorption; kidney morphogenesis; and tissue morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Orthologous to human GCNT3 (glucosaminyl (N-acetyl) transferase 3, mucin type). [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 Gcnt3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
