Background
This gene encodes an RNA-binding phosphoprotein that is part of the MEX3 (muscle excess 3) family of translational regulators. The encoded protein contains N-terminal nuclear export and nuclear localization signals and is exported from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. The protein binds to RNA via two KH domains and also colocalizes with MEX3A, Dcp1A decapping factor and Argonaute proteins within P (processing) bodies. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012],
Function
domain:Binds RNA through its KH domains.,function:RNA-binding protein. May be involved in post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms.,PTM:Phosphorylated.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,similarity:Contains 2 KH domains.,subcellular location:Predominantly expressed in the cytoplasm and shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus through the CRM1 export pathway.,tissue specificity:Highest levels found in fetal brain and testis. Detected in the adult intestinal epithelium, specifically in goblet cell at protein level.,
