Btg3

This gene encodes B cell translocation gene 3, a member of the BTG gene family. This family is defined by a conserved N-terminal domain, known to bind transcription factors, and a less conserved C-terminal domain. This protein is thought to have anti-proliferative properties, and may be involved in regulating the G1-S transition to suppress cell cycle progression. Mice deficient for this gene display an increased incidence of lung cancers, and many human lung cancer cells exhibit decreased levels of B cell translocation gene 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

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 mouse Btg3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
