POPDC3
Encyclopedia
Popeye domain-containing protein 3 is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the POPDC2 gene
.
of proteins which contain three putative transmembrane domains. This membrane associated protein is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle, and may have an important function in these tissues.
Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Popeye protein conserved region is a family of evolutionarily related proteins.The Popeye family of proteins, is restricted to vertebrates and is preferentially expressed in developing and adult striated muscle. It is represented by a conserved region which includes three potential transmembrane...
