Ataxin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATXN3 gene.[5][6]

Clinical significance

Machado–Joseph disease, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia-3, is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder. The protein encoded by the ATXN3 gene contains CAG repeats in the coding region, and the expansion of these repeats from the normal 13-36 to 68-79 is the cause of Machado–Joseph disease. This disorder is thus a trinucleotide repeat disorder type I known as a polyglutamine (PolyQ) disease. There is an inverse correlation between the age of onset and CAG repeat numbers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[6]

Interactions

Ataxin 3 has been shown to interact with:

• RAD23A,[7]
• RAD23B,[7] and
• VCP.[8][9]
