Description
Product Characteristics:
MCG10 is a member of the KH-domain RNA-binding protein family. Proteins of this family bind to RNA with specificity for C-rich pyrimidine regions. MCG10 is induced by p53 and DNA damage via two p53-responsive promoter elements.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: Alpha CP4, LIP4, LYST interacting protein, PCBP4, polyrC binding protein 4, rCbinding protein 4, RNA binding protein MCG10, PCBP4_HUMAN.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the KH-domain protein subfamily. Proteins of this subfamily, also referred to as alpha-CPs, bind to RNA with a specificity for C-rich pyrimidine regions. Alpha-CPs play important roles in post-transcriptional activities and have different cellular distributions. This gene is induced by the p53 tumor suppressor, and the encoded protein can suppress cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G(2)-M. This gene's protein is found in the cytoplasm, yet it lacks the nuclear localization signals found in other subfamily members. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full-length nature for only some has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
