NCIt definition : Human CAV3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 3p25.3 and is approximately
108 kb in length. This allele, which encodes caveolin-3 protein, is involved in caveolae
formation Mutation of the gene is associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,
long QT syndrome 9, distal Tateyama type myopathy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy
type-1C, hyperCKemia and rippling muscle disease 2.;
NCIt note : For the CAV3 gene, two potential translation initiation sites are present; additionally,
alternative splicing with differential inclusion or exclusion of a specific intron,
utilization of multiple polyA sites occurs. (EntrezGene);
