RBMS1, ID (RBMS1, C2orf12, MSSP, MSSP1, SCR2, RNA-binding motif, single-stranded-interacting protein 1, Single-stranded DNA-binding protein MSSP-1, Suppressor of CDC2 with RNA-binding motif 2) (Biotin)

This gene encodes a member of a small family of proteins which bind single stranded DNA/RNA. These proteins are characterized by the presence of two sets of ribonucleoprotein consensus sequence (RNP-CS) that contain conserved motifs, RNP1 and RNP2, originally described in RNA binding proteins, and required for DNA binding. These proteins have been implicated in such diverse functions as DNA replication, gene transcription, cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Several transcript variants, resulting from alternative splicing and encoding different isoforms, have been described. A pseudogene for...
