PEG3 Gene

HGNC Family Zinc fingers
Name paternally expressed 3
Description In human, ZIM2 and PEG3 are treated as two distinct genes though they share multiple 5' exons and a common promoter and both genes are paternally expressed (PMID:15203203). Alternative splicing events connect their shared 5' exons either with the remaining 4 exons unique to ZIM2, or with the remaining 2 exons unique to PEG3. In contrast, in other mammals ZIM2 does not undergo imprinting and, in mouse, cow, and likely other mammals as well, the ZIM2 and PEG3 genes do not share exons. Human PEG3 protein belongs to the Kruppel C2H2-type zinc finger protein family. PEG3 may play a role in cell proliferation and p53-mediated apoptosis. PEG3 has also shown tumor suppressor activity and tumorigenesis in glioma and ovarian cells. Alternative splicing of this PEG3 gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPEG3 is a paternally imprinted gene with widespread expression—including high levels in the human placenta—and diverse functions in controlling cellular homeostasis. Notably, PEG3 is a critical mediator of autophagy in endothelial and tumor cells: it is up‐regulated in response to extracellular cues such as the matrix proteoglycan decorin, which, via VEGFR2 signaling, induces PEG3 to trigger a protracted autophagic program through the transcriptional activation of key autophagy effectors (e.g., Beclin 1, LC3, and TFEB) and the modulation of mitochondrial dynamics. This integrative function positions PEG3 as an important regulator of both canonical autophagy and non‐canonical mitophagy."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its role in autophagy, PEG3 functions as a potent tumor suppressor whose expression is frequently dysregulated through epigenetic mechanisms.
