SESN3 - sestrin 3 Gene
Also Known as SEST3
Species: Homo sapiens
About SESN3
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 161 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 14.9), lymph node (RPKM 14.4) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the sestrin family of stress-induced proteins. The encoded protein reduces the levels of intracellular Reactive Oxygen Species induced by activated Ras downstream of RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt) and FOXO transcription factor. The protein is required for normal regulation of blood glucose, Insulin resistance and plays a role in lipid storage in obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
