U2AF1, Recombinant, Human, aa1-240, GST-Tag (Splicing Factor U2AF 35kD Subunit)

Plays a critical role in both constitutive and enhancer-dependent splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions required for accurate 3'-splice site selection. Recruits U2 snRNP to the branch point. Directly mediates interactions between U2AF2 and proteins bound to the enhancers and thus may function as a bridge between U2AF2 and the enhancer complex to recruit it to the adjacent intron. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-240 from human U2AF1, fused to GST-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
