Description
Product Characteristics: U2AF1L4 (U2 Small Nuclear RNA Auxiliary Factor 1 Like 4) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with U2AF1L4 include Myelophthisic Anemia and Atypical Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. Among its related pathways are Cleavage of Growing Transcript in the Termination Region and Transport of Mature Transcript to Cytoplasm. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and nucleotide binding. An important paralog of this gene is U2AF1.
Target Information: RNA-binding protein that function as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Plays a critical role in both constitutive and enhancer- dependent splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions required for accurate 3'-splice site selection. Acts by enhancing the binding of U2AF2 to weak pyrimidine tracts. Also participates in the regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Activates exon 5 skipping of PTPRC during T-cell activation, an event reversed by GFI1. Binds to RNA at the AG dinucleotide at the 3'-splice site (By similarity). Shows a preference for AGC or AGA (By similarity). {ECO:0000250:UniProtKB:Q8BGJ9}
