Human SDC3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p35.2 and is approximately 39 kb in length. This allele, which encodes syndecan-3 protein, plays a role in both the biosynthesis and catabolism of glycosaminoglycans. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the gene are associated with obesity in some ethnic groups.
