rbp
RBP stands for RNA-binding protein, a broad and diverse class of proteins that interact with RNA molecules to influence post-transcriptional gene regulation. RBPs commonly bind to messenger RNA or noncoding RNAs through sequence or structure motifs, or a combination thereof, and function within ribonucleoprotein complexes to control RNA processing, transport, localization, translation, and decay. They are found across all domains of life and are essential for development and cellular homeostasis.
Many RBPs contain conserved RNA-binding domains, such as the RNA recognition motif (RRM), KH domains, zinc finger
The functions of RBPs are diverse. They participate in splicing and polyadenylation in the nucleus, regulate
Dysregulation or mutation of RBPs is linked to human disease, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders such as
RBPs are studied using techniques such as RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methods
