Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: RKHD2; BM-013; MEX-3C; RNF194
Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins with two K homology (KH) RNA-binding domains and a C-terminal RING-finger domain. The protein interacts with mRNA via the KH domains, and the protein shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Polymorphisms in this gene may contribute to hypertension.

Data suggest that KH1 and HK2 domains of MEX3C bind with high affinity to MRE10, a 10-mer RNA (5prime-CAGAGUUUAG-3prime) containing an eight-nucleotide MEX3C recognition element motif (AGAGUUUA); 3prime-untranslated region of HLA-A2 mRNA contains such a high affinity binding site for KH domains of MEX3C.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
