Function

Pre-mRNA alternative splicing regulator. Regulates alternative splicing of RBFOX2 to enhance the production of mRNA species that are targeted for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

Cellular localization

  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasm
  • Largely restricted to neuronal nuclei. However, significant cytoplasmic localization in neurons from brains from HIV-infected individuals with cognitive impairment.

Alternative names

  • RNA binding protein fox-1 homolog 3
  • Fox-1 homolog C
  • Neuronal nuclei antigen
  • NeuN antigen
  • RBFOX3
