RNA-binding proteins

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
