EBP1 is a member of the peptidase M24C family and functions as an RNA-binding protein involved in cellular proliferation and differentiation processes. It is expressed in a variety of cell lines, including a wide range of tumor cell lines, and localizes to the cytoplasm. Upon treatment with Neuregulin-1 (heregulin), EBP1 translocates to the nucleus. EBP1 is a component of pre-ribosomal ribonucleoprotein complexes, participating in ribosome assembly and regulating the later steps of rRNA pro

This gene encodes a subunit of the polymerase associated factor (PAF1) complex. The PAF1 complex interacts with RNA polymerase II and plays a role in transcription elongation as well as histone modifications including ubiquitylation and methylation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Malate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate, utilizing the NAD/NADH cofactor system in the citric acid cycle. Malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) is localized to the cytoplasm and may play pivotal roles in the malate-aspartate shuttle that operates in the metabolic coordination between cytosol and mitochondria.

This gene encodes a member of the class I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. The encoded protein is a selenocysteine-containing flavoenzyme that maintains thioredoxins in a reduced state, thereby playing a key role in regulating the cellular redox environment. Mammals have three related thioredoxin reductases. This gene encodes a mitochondrial form important for scavenging of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different

The collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) family of proteins (also referred to as ULIP6) are a group of neurologic proteins that have been found to play key roles in growth cone guidance during neural development. CRMP5 has relatively low sequence homology with the other four members of the CRMP family. CRMP5 is expressed in the developing nervous system in an expression pattern that resembles CRMP2 and has a peak expression during the first postnatal week. Elevated levels of autoantibody

Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational
