Gene: CSTF3
Alternate names for this Gene: CSTF-77
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is one of three (including CSTF1 and CSTF2) cleavage stimulation factors that combine to form the cleavage stimulation factor complex (CSTF). This complex is involved in the polyadenylation and 3' end cleavage of pre-mRNAs. The encoded protein functions as a homodimer and interacts directly with both CSTF1 and CSTF2 in the CSTF complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11p13
Description of this Gene: cleavage stimulation factor subunit 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
