Summary
TULP3 (TUB like protein 3, HGNC:12425) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.33, encoding Tubby-related protein 3 (O75386). Negative regulator of the Shh signaling transduction pathway: recruited to primary cilia via association with the IFT complex A (IFT-A) and is required for recruitment of G protein-coupled receptor GPR161 to cilia, a promoter of PKA-dependent basal repression machinery in Shh si….
This gene encodes a member of the tubby gene family of bipartite transcription factors. Members of this family have been identified in plants, vertebrates, and invertebrates, and they share a conserved N-terminal transcription activation region and a conserved C-terminal DNA and phosphatidylinositol-phosphate binding region. The encoded protein binds to phosphoinositides in the plasma membrane via its C-terminal region and probably functions as a membrane-bound transcription regulator that translocates to the nucleus in response to phosphoinositide hydrolysis, for instance, induced by G-protein-coupled-receptor signaling. It plays an important role in neuronal development and function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Function. Negative regulator of the Shh signaling transduction pathway: recruited to primary cilia via association with the IFT complex A (IFT-A) and is required for recruitment of G protein-coupled receptor GPR161 to cilia, a promoter of PKA-dependent basal repression machinery in Shh signaling. Binds to phosphorylated inositide (phosphoinositide) lipids. Both IFT-A- and phosphoinositide-binding properties are required to regulate ciliary G protein-coupled receptor trafficking. During adipogenesis, regulates ciliary trafficking of FFAR4 in preadipocytes.
Subunit / interactions. Associates with the IFT complex A (IFT-A). Interacts with SIRT1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cell membrane. Cell projection. Cilium. Cytoplasm. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Expressed at high levels in testis, ovaries, thyroid, and spinal cord.
Disease relevance. Hepatorenocardiac degenerative fibrosis (HRCDF) [MIM:619902] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive degenerative liver fibrosis, fibrocystic kidney disease, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with atypical fibrotic patterns on histopathology. Disease onset is variable, ranging from childhood to adulthood. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the TUB family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 95 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.
