RCAN3 is a gene that in humans encodes the Calcipressin-3 protein.

Calcipressin-1, which shares a similar function to Calcipressin-3. Both repress calcineurin. PDB 1wey EBI.jpg
Calcipressin-1, which shares a similar function to Calcipressin-3. Both repress calcineurin.

Calcipressin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RCAN3 gene and is a member of the Calcipressin family of proteins. [5] [6]

Expression

RCAN3 is highly expressed in the Cerebellar Hemisphere, Prostrate, and the Mucosa of the esophagus. [7]

Orthologs

RCAN3 was present in the common ancestor of all animals. As a result, orthologs are present in other species, including mice (Rcan3), chickens (RCAN3), and zebrafish (rcan3). [8]

Clinical Significance

Calcipressin-3, along with the other two Calcipressin proteins have been identified as possible contributing factors to Down Syndrome in humans. [9]
