RTP3
Chr 3receptor transporter protein 3
Also known as: LTM1, TMEM7, Z3CXXC3
The protein promotes functional cell surface expression of bitter taste receptors TAS2R16 and TAS2R43. No established human disease associations have been reported for mutations in this gene. The gene shows relatively low constraint to loss-of-function variation.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
