RCAN3 is a gene that in humans encodes the Calcipressin-3 protein.

Calcipressin-1, which shares a similar function to Calcipressin-3. Both repress calcineurin.

Calcipressin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RCAN3 gene and is a member of the Calcipressin family of proteins.

Expression

RCAN3 is highly expressed in the Cerebellar Hemisphere, Prostrate, and the Mucosa of the esophagus.

Orthologs

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).

Clinical significance

Calcipressin-3, along with the other two Calcipressin proteins have been identified as possible contributing factors to Down syndrome in humans.
