Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3640
Gene name Insulin like 3
Gene symbol INSL3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
RLFRLNLley-I-L
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19p13.11
Summary This gene encodes a member of the insulin-like hormone superfamily. The encoded protein is mainly produced in gonadal tissues. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this gene may be involved in the development of urogenital tract and female fertil
