Rtn3 Gene is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
RTN3 (Reticulon 3) is a membrane protein primarily localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is widely expressed in various tissues, with high expression in the brain, and is involved in ER morphology, autophagy, and has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases.
