Abstract
The cytokine like protein FAM3D (Fam3D in mice) is highly expressed in the digestive tract with unknown role in colon pathophysiology. Here, by using gene deficient mice, the authors show that Fam3D is critically involved in colon homeostasis, host defense against colitis-associated carcinogenesis, and the balance of microbiota.
