Anti-HnRNP F/HNRNPF Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HNRNPF gene. This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) . The hnRNPs are RNA binding proteins that complex with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA) . These proteins are associated with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus and regulate alternative splicing, polyadenylation, and other aspects of mRNA metabolism and transport. While all of the hnRNPs are present in the nucleus, some seem to shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties. The protein encoded by this gene has three repeats of quasi-RRM domains that bind to RNAs which have guanosine-rich sequences. This protein is very similar to the family member hnRPH. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F; hnRNP F; Nucleolin-like protein mcs94-1; Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F, N-terminally processed; HNRNPF; HNRPF

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human HnRNP F, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by two amino acids.

Component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complexes which provide the substrate for the processing events that pre-mRNAs undergo before becoming functional, translatable mRNAs in the cytoplasm. Plays a role in the regulation of alternative splicing events. Binds G-rich sequences in pre-mRNAs and keeps target RNA in an unfolded state. .
