RCAN3 is a gene that in humans encodes the Calcipressin-3 protein.
Calcipressin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RCAN3 gene and is a member of the Calcipressin family of proteins.
RCAN3 is highly expressed in the Cerebellar Hemisphere, Prostrate, and the Mucosa of the esophagus. <br />
RCAN3 was present in the common ancestor of all animals. As a result, orthologs are present in other species, including mice (Rcan3), chickens (RCAN3), and zebrafish (rcan3).
Calcipressin-3, along with the other two Calcipressin proteins have been identified as possible contributing factors to Down Syndrome in humans.
