ERV3-1 - Endogenous Retrovirus Group 3 Member 1, Envelope

This gene contains sequence derived from endogenous retrovirus, and is therefore similar to multiple other loci in the genome. Transcripts at this locus encode a conserved protein with a predicted signal peptide and similarity to the Env polyprotein. This protein is overexpressed in colorectal and other cancers.
