Cnpy3 - canopy FGF signaling regulator 3

This gene encodes a member of the canopy family of proteins. The encoded protein may play a role in the maturation of toll-like receptors. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene show reduced cell surface expression of toll-like receptors and an impaired immune response including reduced production of cytokines in a mouse model of sepsis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
