MORC3 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
MORC3 
Aliases
KIAA0136; NXP2; ZCW5; ZCWCC3 
Common name
MORC family CW-type zinc finger 3 
Entrez Id
23515
Description
This gene encodes a protein that localizes to the nuclear matrix and forms nuclear bodies via an ATP-dependent mechanism. The protein is predicted to have coiled-coil and zinc finger domains and has RNA binding activity. Alternative splicing produces multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
