Thbs3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable heparin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within bone trabecula formation; growth plate cartilage development; and ossification involved in bone maturation. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Orthologous to human THBS3 (thrombospondin 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 Thbs3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
