Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 23515
Gene name MORC family CW-type zinc finger 3
Gene symbol MORC3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
NXP2ZCW5ZCWCC3
Chromosome 21
Chromosome location 21q22.12
Summary 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 mult
