Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Involved in cellular response to amino acid starvation and negative regulation of TORC1 signaling. Part of GATOR1 complex. Is active in lysosomal membrane. Implicated in familial focal epilepsy with variable foci 3. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A study in human sepsis patients identified the NPRL3 (NPRL3) as a core prognostic biomarker, demonstrating it was lowly expressed in the Survivor group compared to the Non-survivor group [Chen et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-024-78502-3]. A study in humans identified the protein-coding gene natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3) as a neighbor to a novel long noncoding RNA and found it to be significantly up-regulated in left ventricular biopsies from patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy compared to organ donor controls [Firat et al. DOI:10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e13087].
