NCIt definition : Human DIRC3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2q35 and is approximately
473 kb in length. This allele, which encodes disrupted in renal carcinoma 3 transcript,
may play a role in renal cell carcinoma. A chromosomal translocation t(2;3)(q35;q21)
of this gene and the HSPBAP1 gene is associated with renal cell carcinoma.;
NCIt note : A putative protein product for the DIRC3 gene has been given a TrEMBL identifier C9JPN6.
The protein is predicted to contain 131 amino acids and have a molecular weight of
14 kDa. (UniProt); The DIRC3 gene is predicted to produce a 3.0-kb transcript encoding 12 exons. However,
this gene has a high density of stop codons in all 3 reading frames, making it likely
that the DIRC3 gene product is a noncoding RNA. (OMIM);
