CSMD3
Description
The CSMD3 gene, located on chromosome 15, encodes a protein called CUB domain-containing protein 3. This protein plays a crucial role in the development and function of the nervous system, particularly in the formation of synapses, the junctions between nerve cells. CSMD3 is involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, migration, and signaling, making it a critical factor in the proper development and maintenance of the brain.
