SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nuclear envelope
text	expressed ubiquitously except for plasma cells
	novel secretory protein released via exosomes

basic FUNCTION	scaffolding for signaling proteins such as BASH, Btk, and ERK at the ER and nuclear membrane and facilitating ERK activation by signaling from cell-surface receptors
	may play some roles in the maturation and maintenance of the male reproduction
	play important roles in the immune system and participate in tumorigenesis
	may play an integral role in the development and progression of prostate cancer
	regulates migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells
	is a tumor suppressor gene, plays an important role in the suppression of cell growth and apoptosis
	new regulatory function for CMTM3 in angiogenesis
	CMTM3 mediates cell-cell adhesion at adherens junctions and contributes to the control of vascular sprouting

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function tumoral     --low   significantly methylated in Colorectal cancer tissues when compared with adjacent normal colorectal tissues tumoral     --low   in gastric and testicular cancer tumoral     --low   in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients tumoral     --low   significantly elevated promoter methylation of CMTM3 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared with their adjacent tissues tumoral     --low   due to promoter hypermethylation contributed to the proliferation and migration of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells tumoral     --low   dramatically downregulated in primary gastric cancer tissues

Susceptibility

Variant & Polymorphism

Candidate gene	is a candidate marker for prognosis of gastric cancer in the clinic
Marker	with SSTR2, and MDFI having a potential role as biomarkers for colorectal cancer
	CMTM3 protein expression in resected esophageal tumors may present an effective prognostic biomarker 5)
	elevated CMTM3 methylation is a risk factor in male laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients, especially in the patients with age over 55 years and with smoking behavior
	secreted CMTM3 in urine is likely a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer
	is an independent prognostic factor for the evaluation of the survival of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients
Therapy target
	System Type Disorder Pubmed cancer urinary   CMTM3 may be a potentially target for therapeutic strategy in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 23907292)
