The YTH domain family protein family (YTHDF) includes YTHDF1, YTHDF2 and TYHDF3. YTHDF2 (YTH domain family, member 2), also designated high-glucose-regulated protein 8, CLL-associated antigen KW-14 or renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-2, is a 579 amino acid protein that also contains one YTH domain and exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms. Expressed in pancreas, testis and placenta, YTHDF2 has been identified as a translocation partner gene for RUNX1 and is encoded by a gene mapping to human chromosome 1p35.3. Human chromosome 1 spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome. Chromosome 1 houses a large number of disease-associated genes, including those that are involved in familial adenomatous polyposis, Stickler syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Gaucher disease, schizophrenia and Usher syndrome. |
