Facts about Protein CASC3.
The EJC marks the place of the exon-exon intersection at the mature mRNA for the gene expression machinery and the core elements stay bound to spliced mRNAs through all stages of mRNA metabolism thereby influencing downstream processes including nuclear mRNA export, subcellular mRNA localization, translation efficiency and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). Stimulates the ATPase and RNA- helicase activities of EIF4A3.

Widely expressed. Overexpressed in breast cancers and metastasis, as well as in gastric cancers.
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm, Stress granule. Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule. Cell projection, dendrite. Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a XPO1/CRM1-dependent manner. Transported to the cytoplasm as part of the exon junction complex (EJC) bound to mRNA (PubMed:15166247). In nuclear speckles, colocalizes with MAGOH. Under stress conditions, colocalizes with FMR1 and TIA1, but not MAGOH and RBM8A EJC core factors, in cytoplasmic stress granules (PubMed:17652158). In the dendrites of hippocampal neurons, localize
