MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MORC3 gene. This gene is mapped to 21q22.12. This gene encodes a protein that localizes to the nuclear matrix and forms nuclear bodies via an ATP-dependent mechanism. The protein is predicted to have coiled-coil and zinc finger domains and has RNA binding activity. Alternative splicing produces multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
