(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22794
Official gene symbolCASC3
Full namecancer susceptibility candidate 3
Aliases,BTZ,MLN51,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene is a core component of the exon junction complex (EJC), a protein complex that is deposited on spliced mRNAs at exon-exon junctions and functions in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The encoded protein binds RNA and interacts with two other EJC core components. It is predominantly located in the cytoplasm, but shuttles into the nucleus where it localizes to nuclear speckles.
