LHFPL tetraspan subfamily member 3 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the LHFPL3
gene.
[5]
Function
This gene is a member of the lipoma HMGIC fusion partner (
LHFP) gene family, which is a subset of the superfamily of tetraspan
transmembrane protein encoding genes. Mutations in one LHFP-like gene result in
deafness in humans and mice, and a second LHFP-like gene is fused to a high-mobility group gene in a translocation-associated
lipoma. A partial gene fragment named LHFPL4 corresponds to a portion of the first
exon of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
