Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACC3 gene. The function of this gene has not yet been determined; however, it is speculated that it may be involved in cell growth and differentiation. Expression of this gene is up-regulated in some cancer cell lines, and in embryonic day 15 in mice. (provided by RefSeq)
Plays a role in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. Involved in the processes that regulate centrosome-mediated interkinetic nuclear migration (INM) of neural progenitors (By similarity). May be involved in the control of cell growth and differentiation. May contribute to cancer.
