Growth arrest-specific protein 3 (GAS-3), also called<unk> <unk> , is a protein which in humans is encoded by the<unk>  gene.<unk>  is a<unk>  kDa transmembrane glycoprotein made up of 160 amino acids, and is mainly expressed in the Schwann cells of the<unk>  nervous system. Schwann cells show high expression of<unk> , where it can constitute 2-5% of total protein content in compact<unk> . Compact<unk>  is the bulk of the<unk>  neuron's<unk>  sheath, a protective fatty layer that provides electrical insulation for the neuronal axon. The level of<unk>  expression is relatively low in the central nervous system of adults. Like other membrane proteins, newly translated<unk>  protein is temporarily sequestered to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus for post-translational modifications.<unk>  protein is glycosylated with an N terminus-linked sugar and co-localized with the chaperone protein calnexin in the ER. After the protein is transported to the Golgi apparatus it can then become incorporated in the plasma membrane of the cell.
