Recombinant Human Bromodomain-containing protein 3 (BRD3)

Uniprot Id

Q15059

Target Species

Human

Target Name

BRD3

Target Full Name

Bromodomain-containing protein 3

Target Function

Chromatin reader that recognizes and binds hyperacetylated chromatin and plays a role in the regulation of transcription, probably by chromatin remodeling and interaction with transcription factors. Regulates transcription by promoting the binding of the transcription factor GATA1 to its targets.

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving BRD3 is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;9)(q14;q34) with NUT which produces a BRD3-NUT fusion protein.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.

Target Synonyms

BRD 3; Brd3; BRD3_HUMAN; Bromodomain containing 3; Bromodomain containing protein 3; Bromodomain-containing protein 3; KIAA0043 ; Open reading frame X; ORFX; RING3 like gene; RING3-like protein; RING3L

Target Background

This gene was identified based on its homology to the gene encoding the RING3 protein, a serine/threonine kinase. The gene localizes to 9q34, a region which contains several major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes. The function of the encoded protein is not known.
