SLC27A3 - solute carrier family 27 member 3 Gene
Also Known as FATP3; ACSVL3; VLCS-3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC27A3
This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 202 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in lung (RPKM 12.3), fat (RPKM 11.5) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene belongs to a family of integral membrane proteins and encodes a protein that is involved in lipid metabolism. The increased expression of this gene in human neural stem cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells suggests that it plays an important role in early brain development. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]
