TACC3

Transforming acidic coiled-coil-containing protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TACC3 gene.[1][2]

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.[2]
