Activity summary

ZMYM3 also known as Zinc Finger MYM-Type Containing 3 is a protein with a molecular mass of about 155 kDa. It acts as a transcriptional regulator by binding to specific DNA sequences through its zinc-finger domains. ZMYM3 is mainly expressed in the brain and testes suggesting its role in neural and reproductive functions. The protein localizes primarily in the nucleus where it interacts with chromatin to modulate the expression of target genes.

Biological function summary

There are multiple roles of ZMYM3 in cellular processes. It is part of the CoREST complex a multiprotein scaffold involved in transcriptional repression. Through its participation in this complex ZMYM3 contributes to chromatin remodeling and epigenetic silencing of genes playing a role in maintaining the balance of gene expression necessary for normal cellular operations and development.

Pathways

There are several ways ZMYM3 impacts cellular communication and regulation. The protein is involved in the Notch signaling pathway which is important for cell differentiation proliferation and apoptotic processes. ZMYM3 influences this pathway alongside related proteins such as CoREST and LSD1. Additionally it interacts within the androgen receptor signaling pathway potentially impacting gene transcription relevant to sexual development and hormone response.

Associated diseases and disorders

There is significant interest in the connection between ZMYM3 and cognitive impairments including X-linked intellectual disability. Mutations or dysregulation in ZMYM3 can lead to disrupted transcriptional control linking the protein to neurological disorders. Another medical condition linked to ZMYM3 is prostate cancer where it may affect androgen receptor pathways thereby implicating interactions with proteins like LSD1 and the androgen receptor itself in the disease's progression.
