Scope note

  • A ubiquitous hnRNP protein that contains an RNA RECOGNITION MOTIF and C-terminal ranBP2-type zinc finger. It localizes to the CELL NUCLEUS and CYTOPLASM and is expressed as different isoforms in various tissues, interacting with CALMODULIN and TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEIN P53 to negatively regulate cell growth. Translocations that result in the formation of fusion proteins containing parts of RNA-binding protein EWS are associated with EWING SARCOMA.

History note

  • 2003; for EWS PROTEIN use HETEROGENEOUS-NUCLEAR RIBONUCLEOPROTEINS 1995-2002
