• This gene encodes a member of the PARD protein family. PARD family members interact with other PARD family members and other proteins; they affect asymmetrical cell division and direct polarized cell growth. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
  

PARD3 (Par-3 Family Cell Polarity Regulator) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with PARD3 include Neural Tube Defects and Prostate Cancer. Among its related pathways are Cell junction organization and Signaling by TGFB family members. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein phosphatase binding and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding. An important paralog of this gene is PARD3B.
