Gene information for PABPC5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID140886
Official gene symbolPABPC5
Full namepoly(A) binding protein, cytoplasmic 5
Aliases,FLJ51677,PABP5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that binds to the polyA tail found at the 3' end of most eukaryotic mRNAs. It is thought to play a role in the regulation of mRNA metabolic processes in the cytoplasm. This gene is located in a gene-poor region within the X-specific 13d-sY43 subinterval of the chromosome Xq21.3/Yp11.2 homology block. It is located close to translocation breakpoints associated with premature ovarian failure, and is therefore a potential candidate gene for this disorder. [provided by RefSeq]
