Hook microtubule-tethering protein 3 (HOOK3) is a gene that encodes a protein that mediate binding between microtubules and organelles. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, and frameshift deletions are observed in cancers such as small intestine cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer.

HOOK3 is altered in 0.10% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, high grade ovarian serous adenocarcinoma, bladder urothelial carcinoma, and colorectal adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
