TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityTends to be down-regulated in different type of cancers, including lung neuroendocrine carcinoma, thyroid Huerthle cell carcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma (PubMed:25349211). Mostly expressed in testis and brain (PubMed:26906416). Highly expressed in liver, bladder and renal normal tissue than their tumor tissue counterparts (PubMed:18823379). Palmitoylation stabilizes DCUN1D3 at the cell membrane (PubMed:19617556). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18823379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19617556, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25349211, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26906416}.

Note=After UVC treatment, the protein enters to the nucleus gradually (PubMed:18823379). Cell membrane localization is essential for CUL3 neddylation (PubMed:19617556). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18823379, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19617556}.
