Gene information for PCBP4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57060
Official gene symbolPCBP4
Full namepoly(rC) binding protein 4
Aliases,CBP,LIP4,MCG10,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the KH-domain protein subfamily. Proteins of this subfamily, also referred to as alpha-CPs, bind to RNA with a specificity for C-rich pyrimidine regions. Alpha-CPs play important roles in post-transcriptional activities and have different cellular distributions. This gene is induced by the p53 tumor suppressor, and the encoded protein can suppress cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G(2)-M. This gene's protein is found in the cytoplasm, yet it lacks the nuclear localization signals found in other subfamily members. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but the full-length nature for only some has been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
