Y14 Antibody- Mouse (monoclonal) Anti-Y14
Y14 is a protein with a conserved RNA-binding motif It is preferentially associated with mRNAs produced by splicing including both nuclear mRNAs and newly exported cytoplasmic mRNAs It is thought that the protein remains associated with spliced mRNAs as a tag to indicate where introns had been present thus coupling pre- and post-mRNA splicing events Previously it was thought that two genes encode this protein RBM8A and RBM8B it is now thought that the RBM8B locus is a pseudogene Two alternative start codons result in two forms of the protein and this gene also uses multiple polyadenylation sites
