basic FUNCTION
  • ESRP1 and ESRP2 are coordinators of an epithelial cell-type-specific splicing program
  • ESRP1 and ESRP2 are cell-type-specific regulators of transcripts that switch splicing during the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)
  • regulator of epithelial mRNA splicing
  • ESRP1 and ESRP2 regulate alternative splicing events associated with epithelial phenotypes of cells, and both are down-regulated during the epithelial-mesenchymal transition
  • ESRP1 and ESRP2 are required for mammalian development, including establishment of epidermal barrier functions
  • ESRP1 and ESRP2 control the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) splicing program in cancer
