Tissue Specificity | Expressed in all tissues examined including heart, brain, kidney and testis. In brain, present at high level in neurons and especially in the Purkinje cells at the interface between the granular layer and the molecular layer (at protein level). |
Function | mRNA-binding protein that acts as a regulator of mRNAs translation and/or stability, and which is required for adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Specifically binds to AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs. Promotes formation of some phase-separated membraneless compartment by undergoing liquid-liquid phase separation upon binding to AREs-containing mRNAs: mRNAs storage into membraneless compartments regulates their translation and/or stability. Acts as a regulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis by regulating translation and/or stability of NOG mRNA, thereby preventing NOG protein expression in the dentate gyrus. |
