NCBP2 nuclear cap binding protein subunit 2

Gene ID: 22916, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CBC2; NIP1; CBP20; PIG55

Summary

The product of this gene is a component of the nuclear cap-binding protein complex (CBC), which binds to the monomethylated 5' cap of nascent pre-mRNA in the nucleoplasm. The encoded protein has an RNP domain commonly found in RNA binding proteins, and contains the cap-binding activity. The CBC promotes pre-mRNA splicing, 3'-end processing, RNA nuclear export, and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
