Gene information for U2AF2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11338
Official gene symbolU2AF2
Full nameU2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2
Aliases,U2AF65,
Gene summaryU2 auxiliary factor (U2AF), comprised of a large and a small subunit, is a non-snRNP protein required for the binding of U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA branch site. This gene encodes the U2AF large subunit which contains a sequence-specific RNA-binding region with 3 RNA recognition motifs and an Arg/Ser-rich domain necessary for splicing. The large subunit binds to the polypyrimidine tract of introns early during spliceosome assembly. Multiple transcript variants have been detected for this gene, but the full-length natures of only two have been determined to date. [provided by RefSeq]
