Biology:Golph3

From HandWiki
Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a human protein encoded by GOLPH3 gene. It is a peripheral membrane protein of the Golgi that probably has a regulatory role in Golgi trafficking. [1]

Clinical significance

Golph 3 expression is associated with poor prognosis of various cancers of gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.[2][3] Higher expression of GOLPH3 is reported to be associated with greater sensitivity of colorectal cancer to Fluorouracil therapy.[4]
