IGF2BP3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 2 mRNA-binding Protein 3, IGF2 mRNA-binding Protein 3, IMP-3, IGF-II mRNA-binding Protein 3, KH Domain-containing Protein Overexpressed in Cancer, hKOC, VICKZ Family Member 3, IMP3, KOC1, VICKZ3) (RIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set)

The protein encoded by this gene is primarily found in the nucleolus, where it can bind to the 5' UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 leader 3 mRNA and may repress translation of insulin-like growth factor 2 during late development. The encoded protein contains several KH domains, which are important in RNA binding and are known to be involved in RNA synthesis and metabolism. A pseudogene exists on chromosome 7, and there are putative pseudogenes on other chromosomes. ||Applications:|Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and RNA Binding Protein Immunoprecipitation assay.
