Pias3 - protein inhibitor of activated STAT 3

Enables SUMO transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including TNFSF11-mediated signaling pathway; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and negative regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; and maxillary process. Orthologous to human PIAS3 (protein inhibitor of activated STAT 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
