Gene information for RNPS1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10921
Official gene symbolRNPS1
Full nameRNA binding protein S1, serine-rich domain
Aliases,E5.1,MGC117332,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is part of a post-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclear export and mRNA surveillance. mRNA surveillance detects exported mRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstream from the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrade mRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein binds to the mRNA and remains bound after nuclear export, acting as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling protein. This protein contains many serine residues. Two splice variants have been found for this gene; both variants encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
