PAIP1 poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]

Source: NCBI Gene (ID 10605)
Symbol: PAIP1
Full name: poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with poly(A)-binding protein and with the cap-binding complex eIF4A. It is involved in translational initiation and protein biosynthesis. Overexpression of this gene in COS7 cells stimulates translation. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified.

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 24.5), thyroid (RPKM 20.8) and 25 other tissues
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 31145bp
Exon count: 12
