• may be involved in cytoplasmic regulatory processes of mRNA metabolism
• binds poly(A) with a slightly lower affinity as compared to PABPC1

Structure

• belongs to the polyadenylate-binding protein type-1 family
• contains 1 PABC domain
• contains 4 RRM domain (RNA recognition motif)s

Compartment

cytoplasm (putative)

Expression

testis specific

More general terms

• polyadenylate binding protein
• testis-specific protein
