ID3 (DNA-binding protein inhibitor ID-3) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma and Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Transcriptional regulator (lacking a basic DNA binding domain) which negatively regulates the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors by forming heterodimers and inhibiting their DNA binding and transcriptional activity. Implicated in regulating a variety of cellular processes, including cellular growth, senescence, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and neoplastic transformation. Involved in myogenesis by inhibiting skeletal muscle and cardiac myocyte differentiation and promoting muscle precursor cells proliferation.
CIViC holds 1 clinical evidence item and 0 assertions across 1 variant. IntOGen calls it a driver in 5 cohorts (0 activating, 5 loss-of-function), covering Burkitt Lymphoma, Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, NOS, Malignant Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

No product in this corpus aims at ID3 yet. Because the protein is lost rather than overactive, drugs either restore its function or exploit the weakness its loss leaves (synthetic lethality).
Tumour-specific alteration: the catalogues call it a tumour suppressor (IntOGen finds it knocked out more often than chance); what a medicine would aim at or exploit is the altered form or its loss, absent from normal cells; no corpus medicine is aimed at it yet. HPA ID3: RNA tissue enhanced (blood vessel 461 nTPM); blood lineage group enriched (B-cells 320 nTPM, T-cells 178 nTPM); high antibody staining in 30 normal tissues; highest cancer staining skin cancer (7 of 11 high). Distribution: 1 cancer family in the corpus carries a prevalence row, label threshold or catalogue link for it (Lymphoma); Open Targets associates it with 1 specific cancer type at or above 0.5 (Burkitt lymphoma).

Implicated in regulating a variety of cellular processes, including cellular growth, senescence, differentiation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and neoplastic transformation. Involved in myogenesis by inhibiting skeletal muscle and cardiac myocyte differentiation and promoting muscle precursor cells proliferation. Inhibits the binding of E2A-containing protein complexes to muscle creatine kinase E-box enhancer. Regulates the circadian clock by repressing the transcriptional activator activity of the CLOCK-BMAL1 heterodimer. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 1p36.12 (HGNC).
