PARP3 poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 3

Gene ID: 10039, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IRT1; ARTD3; ADPRT3; ADPRTL2; ADPRTL3; PADPRT-3

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the PARP family. These enzymes modify nuclear proteins by poly-ADP-ribosylation, which is required for DNA repair, regulation of apoptosis, and maintenance of genomic stability. This gene encodes the poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferase 3, which is preferentially localized to the daughter centriole throughout the cell cycle. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
