DENND3
Chr 8DENN domain containing 3
The DENND3 protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activates RAB12, regulating autophagy in response to starvation and controlling protein transport from recycling endosomes to lysosomes. Mutations cause neurodevelopmental disorders with intellectual disability, though the inheritance pattern has not been clearly established. The gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants (very low pLI score), suggesting tolerance to complete protein loss.
