NPHP3
Molecular classification
Other (cilia-associated scaffold protein; contains coiled-coil domain, tubulin-tyrosine ligase domain, tetratrico peptide repeat domain)
01

Overview

Nephrocystin-3 is a cilia-associated scaffold protein essential for normal ciliary development and renal tubular development in humans. It contains multiple protein-interaction domains, including coiled-coil, tubulin-tyrosine ligase, and tetratrico peptide repeats. The protein interacts with nephrocystin and serves critical roles in ciliary function, kidney morphogenesis, and the regulation of Wnt signaling pathways. Mutations in the NPHP3 gene result in several severe ciliopathies, including nephronophthisis type 3, Meckel syndrome type 7, and renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia[1][2][3][6].
