Entry terms

  • hnRNP K

Note

  • see SCR for specific hnRNP entries

Scope note

  • A heterogeneous-nuclear ribonucleoprotein found in the CELL NUCLEUS and the CYTOPLASM. Heterogeneous-nuclear ribonucleoprotein K has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression at nearly all levels: GENETIC TRANSCRIPTION; mRNA processing (RNA PROCESSING, POST-TRANSCRIPTIONAL), mRNA transport, mRNA stability, and translation (TRANSLATION, GENETIC). The hnRNP protein has a strong affinity for polypyrimidine-rich RNA and for single-stranded polypyrimidine-rich DNA. Multiple hnRNP K protein isoforms exist due to alternative splicing and display different nucleic-acid-binding properties.

History note

  • 2003; use HETEROGENEOUS NUCLEAR RIBONUCLEOPROTEIN K (NM) 1994-2002; for HNRNP K use HETEROGENEOUS-NUCLEAR RIBONUCLEOPROTEINS (NM) 1994-2002
