Mouse Anti-Porcine Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNP U) Monoclonal Antibody

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U (hnRNP U), also known as SYNCRIP or Apg-2, is a multifunctional protein that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of gene expression. It is a component of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complex, which is involved in the processing of pre-mRNA in the nucleus. hnRNP U is known for its ability to bind to specific RNA sequences, influencing mRNA splicing, export, stability, and translation. Its interaction with RNA is crucial for the proper functioning of the cell, as it helps determine which genes are expressed and when. This protein has been implicated in various cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and the stress response. Moreover, hnRNP U has been linked to several diseases, such as cancer, where its dysregulation can lead to abnormal gene expression patterns that contribute to tumorigenesis.
