Protein crumbs homolog 3
Definition:
Involved in the establishment of cell polarity in mammalian epithelial cells. Regulates the morphogenesis of tight junctions. Involved in promoting phosphorylation and cytoplasmic retention of transcriptional coactivators YAP1 and WWTR1/TAZ which leads to suppression of TGFB1-dependent transcription of target genes such as CCN2/CTGF, SERPINE1/PAI1, SNAI1/SNAIL1 and SMAD7 (By similarity).
