negative regulator of P-body association; P-body dissociating protein; protein NoBody (NBDY, LINC01420)

Function

• promotes dispersal of P-body components
• likely to play a role in the mRNA decapping process
• interacts with mRNA decapping proteins DCP1A, DCP2 & EDC4

Compartment

• cytoplasm, P-body
• localizes to P-bodies at low concentrations without dissociating them

Notes

• previously thought to be non-coding
• shown to be translated & functional

More general terms

• uncharacterized protein
