Synaptotagmin binding, cytoplasmic RNA interacting protein
Gene Summary
Heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) implicated in mRNA processing mechanisms. SYNCRIP may be involved in translationally coupled mRNA turnover. It implicated with other RNA-binding proteins in the cytoplasmic deadenylation/translational and decay interplay of the FOS mRNA mediated by the major coding-region determinant of instability (mCRD) domain. It interacts in vitro preferentially with poly(A) and poly(U) RNA sequences.
