Mex67

Mex67 is a protein that plays a crucial role in the transport of messenger RNA (mRNA) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. It is a key component of the mRNA export machinery, working in conjunction with other proteins to ensure the efficient and accurate delivery of genetic information. Mex67 is a member of the hnRNP (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein) family, which are involved in RNA processing and transport. The protein is characterized by its modular structure, containing several distinct domains that mediate its interactions with RNA and other export factors. Its function is essential for gene expression, as it facilitates the translation of genetic code into functional proteins. Dysregulation of Mex67 activity has been linked to various cellular processes and diseases, highlighting its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Research continues to explore the intricate mechanisms by which Mex67 and its interacting partners facilitate mRNA export, providing insights into fundamental cellular biology and potential therapeutic targets.
