STAC3 : SH3 and cysteine rich domain 3
Description
STAC3 (Stac3, Synaptic Adhesion-Like Molecule 3) is a gene that encodes a transmembrane protein involved in cell adhesion and signaling. It plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including neuronal development, synapse formation, and immune responses. STAC3 interacts with other proteins to regulate cell-cell interactions, adhesion, and signal transduction pathways. The gene is located on chromosome 19 and is expressed in a variety of tissues, including the brain, heart, and immune cells.
