Human Gene NPHP3 (ENST00000337331.10) from GENCODE V43
Description: Homo sapiens nephrocystin 3 (NPHP3), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_153240) RefSeq Summary (NM_153240): This gene encodes a protein containing a coiled-coil (CC) domain, a tubulin-tyrosine ligase (TTL) domain, and a tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR) domain. The encoded protein interacts with nephrocystin, it is required for normal ciliary development, and it functions in renal tubular development. Mutations in this gene are associated with nephronophthisis type 3, and also with renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia, and Meckel syndrome type 7. Naturally occurring read-through transcripts exist between this gene and the downstream ACAD11 (acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, member 11) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

ID:NPHP3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Nephrocystin-3; FUNCTION: Required for normal ciliary development and function. Inhibits disheveled-1-induced canonical Wnt-signaling activity and may also play a role in the control of non-canonical Wnt signaling which regulates planar cell polarity. Probably acts as a molecular switch between different Wnt signaling pathways. Required for proper convergent extension cell movements. SUBUNIT: Interacts with NPHP1 and INVS/NPHP2. Interacts (when myristoylated) with UNC119 and UNC119B; interaction is required for localization to cilium. Interacts with CEP164. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell projection, cilium. Note=Localization to cilium is mediated via interaction with UNC119 and UNC119B, which bind to the myristoyl moiety of the N-terminus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed at low level. Expressed in heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Expressed at very low level in brain and lung. DISEASE: Defects in NPHP3 are the cause of nephronophthisis type 3 (NPHP3) [MIM:604387]; also known as adolescent nephronophthisis. NPHP3 is a autosomal recessive disorder resulting in end-stage renal disease. It is characterized by polyuria, polydipsia, anemia. Onset of terminal renal failure occurr significantly later (median age, 19 years) than in juvenile nephronophthisis. Renal pathology is characterized by alterations of tubular basement membranes, tubular atrophy and dilation, sclerosing tubulointerstitial nephropathy, and renal cyst development predominantly at the corticomedullary junction. DISEASE: Defects in NPHP3 are a cause of renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia (RHPD) [MIM:208540]. RHPD is an autosomal recessive disorder with variable expression, and patients surviving the neonatal period progress to renal and hepatic failure which can be treated successfully with combined liver-kidney transplantation. DISEASE: Defects in NPHP3 are the cause of Meckel syndrome type 7 (MKS7) [MIM:267010]. It is a form of Meckel syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder. It is characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia and cysts, and polydactyly. SIMILARITY: Contains 11 TPR repeats.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
