Gene information for SMC3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9126
Official gene symbolSMC3
Full namestructural maintenance of chromosomes 3
Aliases,BAM,BMH,CDLS3,CSPG6,HCAP,SMC3L1,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the SMC3 subfamily of SMC proteins. The encoded protein occurs in certain cell types as either an intracellular, nuclear protein or a secreted protein. The nuclear form, known as structural maintenance of chromosomes 3, is a component of the multimeric cohesin complex that holds together sister chromatids during mitosis, enabling proper chromosome segregation. Post-translational modification of the encoded protein by the addition of chondroitin sulfate chains gives rise to the secreted proteoglycan bamacan, an abundant basement membrane protein.
