Target Species

Human

Target Name

CRTC3

Target Full Name

CREB-regulated transcription coactivator 3

Target Function

Transcriptional coactivator for CREB1 which activates transcription through both consensus and variant cAMP response element (CRE) sites. Acts as a coactivator, in the SIK/TORC signaling pathway, being active when dephosphorylated and acts independently of CREB1 'Ser-133' phosphorylation. Enhances the interaction of CREB1 with TAF4. Regulates the expression of specific CREB-activated genes such as the steroidogenic gene, StAR. Potent coactivator of PPARGC1A and inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis in muscle cells. Also coactivator for TAX activation of the human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) long terminal repeats (LTR).

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

TORC family

Target Tissue Specificity

Predominantly expressed in B and T lymphocytes. Highest levels in lung. Also expressed in brain, colon, heart, kidney, ovary, and prostate. Weak expression in liver, pancreas, muscle, small intestine, spleen and stomach.

Target Background

This gene is a member of the CREB regulated transcription coactivator gene family. This family regulates CREB-dependent gene transcription in a phosphorylation-independent manner and may be selective for cAMP-responsive genes. The protein encoded by this gene may induce mitochondrial biogenesis and attenuate catecholamine signaling in adipose tissue. A translocation event between this gene and Notch coactivator mastermind-like gene 2, which results in a fusion protein, has been reported in mucoepidermoid carcinomas. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.
