Also known as: CT-8; CT28; CT-28; HOM-TES-85
Summary: This gene encodes a leucine-zipper protein that was first defined as a cancer testis antigens. The encoded protein is an RNA binding protein that interacts with the mRNA export receptor nuclear RNA export factor 2. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

What's a GeneRIF?

Luzp4 is an RNA-binding protein which associates with the TREX mRNA export complex subunit Uap56. Luzp4 also binds the principal mRNA export receptor Nxf1, enhances its RNA binding activity and complements Alyref knockdown in vivo. Luzp4 displays all features of an mRNA export adaptor. Whilst Luzp4 is up-regulated in a range of tumours, it appears preferentially expressed in melanoma cells where it is required for growth.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001318840.2 → NP_001305769.1 leucine zipper protein 4 isoform 2

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an exon in the 5' coding region which results in the use of a an alternate 5' most exon and a frameshift in the 5' coding region compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) is shorter and has a distinct N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
