BTBD3
Description
The BTBD3 (BTB domain containing 3) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20.
BTBD3 plays a crucial role in guiding the direction of dendrites in the sensory cortex during development. It ensures that these dendrites align properly within their designated areas. Interestingly, when introduced into cells that don't normally express BTBD3, it has the ability to steer dendrites towards active nerve terminals.
BTBD3 is also known as dJ742J24.1.
