About PGBD3

Summary

This gene is a member of a small family of genes derived from piggyBac transposable elements. The encoded protein contains a zinc-ribbon domain characteristic of transposon-derived proteins and may function as a regulator of transcription. Alternative splicing occurs between a splice site from exon 5 of the adjacent upstream gene 'excision repair cross-complementation group 6' (ERCC6, GeneID: 2074) and the 3' splice site upstream of the open reading frame (ORF) of this gene, which activates the alternative polyadenylation site downstream of the piggyback-derived-3 ORF. The resulting transcripts encode a fusion protein that shares sequence with the product of each individual gene. Pseudogenes for this gene are defined on chromosomes 4, 5 and 12.
