Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) is a human protein encoded by GOLPH3 gene. It is a peripheral membrane protein of the Golgi that probably has a regulatory role in Golgi trafficking. ¹

Clinical significance

Golph 3 expression is associated with poor prognosis of various cancers of gastrointestinal tract, such as gastric and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.²³ Higher expression of GOLPH3 is reported to be associated with greater sensitivity of colorectal cancer to Fluorouracil therapy.⁴
