Recombinant Human RNA-binding protein RO60 (RO60)

Uniprot Id

P10155

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RO60

Target Full Name

RNA-binding protein RO60

Target Function

RNA-binding protein that binds to misfolded non-coding RNAs, pre-5S rRNA, and several small cytoplasmic RNA molecules known as Y RNAs. May stabilize some of these RNAs and protect them from degradation. Binds to endogenous Alu retroelements which are induced by type I interferon and stimulate porinflammaotry cytokine secretion. Regulates the expression of Alu retroelements as well as inflammatory genes.; May play roles in cilia formation and/or maintenance.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Note=Localized in cytoplasmic mRNP granules containing untranslated mRNAs.
