| Name | FERM and PDZ domain containing 3 |
| Description | This gene encodes a protein that contains a PDZ (post synaptic density protein (PSD95), Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor (Dlg1), and zonula occludens-1 protein (zo-1) domain at the N-terminus followed by a FERM domain. The encoded protein is involved in signal transduction. The PDZ domain is thought to function in protein-protein interactions, mainly by binding to specific C-terminal peptides of other proteins. The FERM domain is found in proteins that are localized to the plasma membrane and are associated with the cytoskeleton. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017] |
