PABPC5

Description

The PABPC5 (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 5) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.

The PABPC5 gene encodes a poly(A)-binding protein that attaches to the polyA tail found at the 3' end of most eukaryotic mRNAs. This protein is believed to play a role in regulating mRNA metabolic processes in the cytoplasm. The PABPC5 gene resides within a gene-poor region of the Xq21.3/Yp11.2 homology block on chromosome X, close to translocation breakpoints associated with premature ovarian failure. This proximity makes PABPC5 a potential candidate gene for this disorder.

PABPC5 binds to the poly(A) tail of mRNA, playing a potential role in regulating mRNA metabolic processes within the cytoplasm. While primarily known for its interaction with poly(A) tails, PABPC5 likely interacts with other cytoplasmic RNA sequences in vivo.

PABPC5 is also known as PABP5.
