Anti-PCBP2

The protein encoded by this gene appears to be multifunctional. Along with PCBP-1 and hnRNPK, it is one of the major cellular poly(rC)-binding proteins. The encoded protein contains three K-homologous (KH) domains which may be involved in RNA binding. Together with PCBP-1, this protein also functions as a translational coactivator of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES, promoting poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. It has also been implicated in translational control of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, and hepatitis A virus RNA. The encoded protein is also suggested to play a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability. This multiexon structural mRNA is thought to be retrotransposed to generate Protein function: Single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein that binds preferentially to oligo dC (PubMed:7607214, PubMed:12414943). Major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein (PubMed:12414943). Binds also poly(rU) (PubMed:12414943). Acts as a negative regulator of antiviral signaling (PubMed:19881509, PubMed:35322803). Negatively regulates cellular antiviral responses mediated by MAVS signaling (PubMed:19881509). It acts as an adapter between MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH, therefore triggering MAVS ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:19881509). Negativeley regulates the cGAS-STING pathway via interaction with CGAS, preventing the formation of liquid- like droplets in which CGAS is activated (PubMed:35322803). Together with PCBP1, required for erythropoiesis, possibly by regulating mRNA splicing. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000 ELISA 1:5000-20000.
