RUFY3 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a RPIP8, UNC-14, and NESCA domain-containing protein that is required for maintenance of neuronal polarity. In addition, it has been implicated in mediation of gastric cancer cell migration and invasion via interaction with P21-activated kinase-1, which promotes its expression. The encoded protein localizes to F-actin-enriched invadopodia to induce formation of protrusions, thereby facilitating cell migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human RUFY3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- FYVE domain like superfamily
- FYVE zinc finger
- Protein of unknown function (DUF3729)
- cytoskeletal protein binding
- domain involved in Ras-like GTPase signaling
- Protein present in Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1
- PHD finger superfamily
- SWI5-dependent HO expression protein 3
- protein binding
- RUN domain
