The RBM3 gene is mapped to human chromosome Xp11.23. The gene is a X-chromosome related gene that encodes an alternatively spliced transcript that contains a RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain and a glycine-rich region. This protein is capable of binding to both DNA and RNA.
Synonyms: Anti-IS1-RNPL; Anti-RNA binding motif (RNP1, RRM) protein 3
Storage: -20C
Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Putative RNA-binding protein 3 is a protein encoded by the RBM3 gene in humans. The RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) function in RNA metabolism and regulate gene transcription. RBM3 is transcriptionally induced by low temperature and hypoxia. It is found to be up-regulated in human tumors and its overexpression may serve as an important molecular mechanism for astrocytic carcinogenesis. The gene may have proliferative and/or proto-oncogenic functions in human astrocytomas. Loss of this gene expression is associated with aggressive tumours and an independent factor of poor prognosis in patients with urothelial bladder cancer. Over expression of this gene is associated with good prognosis in breast cancer, ovarian cancer, malignant melanoma and colorectal cancer.
