Product description
Poly(A)-binding proteins (PABPs) bind to the poly(A) tail
present at the 3-prime ends of most eukaryotic mRNAs. PABPC4 or
IPABP (inducible PABP) was isolated as an activation-induced T-cell
mRNA encoding a protein. Activation of T cells increased PABPC4
mRNA levels in T cells approximately 5-fold. PABPC4 contains 4
RNA-binding domains and proline-rich C terminus. PABPC4 is
localized primarily to the cytoplasm. It is suggested that PABPC4
might be necessary for regulation of stability of labile mRNA
species in activated T cells. PABPC4 was also identified as an
antigen, APP1 (activated-platelet protein-1), expressed on
thrombin-activated rabbit platelets. PABPC4 may also be involved in
the regulation of protein translation in platelets and
megakaryocytes or may participate in the binding or stabilization
of polyadenylates in platelet dense granules. Alternatively spliced
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for
this gene.1) Jonson, L., et al. Mol. Cell Proteomics 6(5):798-811(2007)
