RFX3
geneOn this page
Summary
RFX3 (regulatory factor X3, HGNC:9984) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p24.2, encoding Transcription factor RFX3 (P48380). Transcription factor required for ciliogenesis and islet cell differentiation during endocrine pancreas development. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene is a member of the regulatory factor X gene family, which encodes transcription factors that contain a highly-conserved winged helix DNA binding domain. The protein encoded by this gene is structurally related to regulatory factors X1, X2, X4, and X5. It is a transcriptional activator that can bind DNA as a monomer or as a heterodimer with other RFX family members. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Function. Transcription factor required for ciliogenesis and islet cell differentiation during endocrine pancreas development. Essential for the differentiation of nodal monocilia and left-right asymmetry specification during embryogenesis. Required for the biogenesis of motile cilia by governing growth and beating efficiency of motile cells. Also required for ciliated ependymal cell differentiation. Regulates the expression of genes involved in ciliary assembly (DYNC2LI1, FOXJ1 and BBS4) and genes involved in ciliary motility (DNAH11, DNAH9 and DNAH5). Together with RFX6, participates in the differentiation of 4 of the 5 islet cell types during endocrine pancreas development, with the exception of pancreatic PP (polypeptide-producing) cells. Regulates transcription by forming a heterodimer with another RFX protein and binding to the X-box in the promoter of target genes. Represses transcription of MAP1A in non-neuronal cells but not in neuronal cells.
Subunit / interactions. Heterodimer; heterodimerizes with RFX1 and RFX2, and RFX6.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the RFX family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 39 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
