Description
Product Characteristics:
Matrin 3 (MATR 3) is an internal nuclear matrix protein that may play a role in transcription or may interact with other nuclear matrix proteins to form the internal fibrogranular network. In association with the SFPQ-NONO heteromer MATR 3 may play a role in nuclear retention of defective RNAs. MATR3 forms part of complex consisting of SFPQ, NONO and MATR3.The protein contains 1 matrin type zinc finger and 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.
Subcellular location: Nucleus
Synonyms: MATR3, Matrin3, Matrin-3, KIAA0723, Matr3, MATR3_HUMAN, MPD2, VCPDM.
Target Information: This locus encodes a nuclear matrix protein. Mutations at this locus have been associated with distal myopathy 2, which often includes vocal cord and pharyngeal weakness. Alternatively spliced transcript variants, including read-through transcripts with an upstream locus have been described. Related pseuodgenes have been defined on chr1 and chrX.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
