Dpysl3 - dihydropyrimidinase-like 3

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the TUC (TOAD-64/Ulip/CRMP) family of proteins. Members of this family are phosphoproteins that function in axonal guidance and neuronal differentiation during development and regeneration of the nervous system. A mutation in the human gene is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
