Sunday 30 November 2003
Function
RNA-binding proteins are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism such as processing, translational control, stabilization, localization and transport.
Many of these proteins bind several RNA targets and have multiple functions.
Feautures
RNA transport
RNA localization
RNA metabolism
RNA splicing
