Matrin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MATR3 gene.[3][4]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is localized in the nuclear matrix. It may play a role in transcription or may interact with other nuclear matrix proteins to form the internal fibrogranular network. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.[4]

Pathology

Mutations in the Matrin 3 gene are associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.[5]
