The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the dual specificity protein phosphatase family. It was identified as a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, and has been shown to interact with, and dephosphorylate CDK2 kinase, thus prevent the activation of CDK2 kinase. This gene was reported to be deleted, mutated, or overexpressed in several kinds of cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

A study in human skin demonstrated that the CDKN3 was significantly up-regulated in thermally injured tissue compared to normal skin during the early wound repair process, as part of a broad analysis of 2,286 altered genes [Greco et al. DOI:10.1016/j.burns.2009.06.211]. A study in humans demonstrated that overfeeding induced up-regulation of the CDKN3 in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue [Shea et al. DOI:10.3945/ajcn.2008.25970].
