UniProt functional annotation for P31943

UniProt code: P31943.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: This protein is a 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. Mediates pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulation. Inhibits, together with CUGBP1, insulin receptor (IR) pre-mRNA exon 11 inclusion in myoblast. Binds to the IR RNA. Binds poly(RG). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11003644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16946708}.
 
Subunit: Part of a ternary complex containing FUBP2, PTBP1, PTBP2 and HNRNPH1. Identified in the spliceosome C complex. Interacts with IGF2BP1. Interacts with CUGBP1; the interaction is RNA-dependent. Interacts with MBNL1; the interaction in RNA-independent. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11003644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11991638, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16946708, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17289661}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus, nucleoplasm.
Tissue specificity: Expressed ubiquitously.
Induction: Up-regulated in myotonic dystrophy pathophysiology (DM). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16946708}.
Domain: Each quasi-RRM repeat bound poly(RG), while only the N-terminal QRRM bound poly(RC) and poly(RU). None of the repeats bound detectable amounts of poly(RA).
