Summary
NEUROG3 (neurogenin 3, HGNC:13806) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q22.1, encoding Neurogenin-3 (Q9Y4Z2). Is a transcriptional regulator involved in the control of enteroendocrine cell differentiation.
The protein encoded by this gene is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor involved in neurogenesis. The encoded protein likely acts as a heterodimer with another bHLH protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of congenital malabsorptive diarrhea 4 (DIAR4).

Function. Is a transcriptional regulator involved in the control of enteroendocrine cell differentiation. Together with NKX2-2, initiates transcriptional activation of NEUROD1. Involved in neurogenesis. Also required for the specification of a common precursor of the 4 pancreatic endocrine cell types.
Subunit / interactions. Efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. Interacts with ATOH8.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Disease relevance. Diarrhea 4, malabsorptive, congenital, with diabetes mellitus and combined pituitary hormone deficiency (DIAR4) [MIM:610370] An autosomal recessive disease characterized by severe, life-threatening watery diarrhea associated with generalized malabsorption and a paucity of enteroendocrine cells. In addition to malabsorptive diarrhea, most patients develop insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in the neonatal period or early childhood, and manifest short stature and delayed puberty. Pituitary gland hypoplasia with multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies and proximal renal tubulopathy have also been observed. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
