Source: NCBI Gene (ID 11000)
Symbol: SLC27A3
Full name: solute carrier family 27 member 3
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: ACSVL3; FATP3; VLCS-3
Summary: This gene belongs to a family of integral membrane proteins and encodes a protein that is involved in lipid metabolism. The increased expression of this gene in human neural stem cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells suggests that it plays an important role in early brain development. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with autism spectrum disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]
