UniProt functional annotation for P52597

UniProt code: P52597.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complexes which provide the substrate for the processing events that pre-mRNAs undergo before becoming functional, translatable mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Plays a role in the regulation of alternative splicing events. Binds G-rich sequences in pre-mRNAs and keeps target RNA in an unfolded state. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20526337}.
 
Subunit: Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Interacts with AGO1, AGO2, TBP and TXNL4/DIM1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11054566, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11991638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16885237, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17932509}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus, nucleoplasm.
Tissue specificity: Expressed ubiquitously.
Domain: The N-terminal RRM domains are responsible for recognizing the G-tract of BCL-X RNA.
Ptm: Sumoylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15161980}.
