RSPH3 Gene

Name radial spoke 3 homolog (Chlamydomonas)
Description The protein encoded by this gene acts as a protein kinase A anchoring protein. Mutations in this gene cause primary ciliary dyskinesia; a disorder characterized by defects of the axoneme in motile cilia and sperm flagella. The homolog of this gene was first identified in the blue-green algae Chlamydomonas as encoding a radial spoke protein that formed a structural component of motile cilia and flagella. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nRSPH3 is a crucial component of motile cilia and flagella, playing an essential role in assembling the radial spoke (RS) structures and the central complex. Mutations in RSPH3 compromise the integrity of these structures, leading to primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) where respiratory cilia and sperm flagella show immotility or reduced beat amplitude due to nearly absent RSs and central complex defects. This defect is particularly notable as other RS proteins may still be present despite the loss of RSPH3, emphasizing its indispensable role in proper axonemal assembly."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ""}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond its impact on respiratory cilia, abnormalities in RSPH3 have been implicated in male infertility.
