Description
PNRC2 is involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) by acting as a bridge between the mRNA decapping complex and the NMD machinery. This protein may act by targeting the NMD machinery to the P-body and recruiting the decapping machinery to aberrant mRNAs. It is required for uPF1/RENT1 localization to the P-body and also acts as a nuclear receptor coactivator. PNRC2 may play a role in controlling the energy balance between energy storage and energy expenditure. Recombinant human PNCR2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli
