GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IGF2BP3 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CT98, IMP-3, IMP3
Description
Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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 II leader 3 mRNA and may repress translation of insulin-like growth factor II 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
