    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the early steps in the assembly of the 3'end processing complex
  • is a unconventional Nudix protein
  • controls cell fate by connecting alternative polyadenylation to chromatin signaling
  • NUDT21 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma proliferation, metastasis and tumorigenesis, at least in part, by suppressing PSMB2 and CXXC5
  • is required for 3'RNA cleavage and polyadenylation
  • NUDT21 and serine/arginine-like protein CPSF6, regulates alternative polyadenylation (APA)
  • is a crucial mediator involved in alternative polyadenylation (APA), and has been reported to be a tumor suppressor in human cancers
  • NUDT21 plays a crucial role in bladder cancer progression, at least in part through ANXA2 and LIMK2 which act by alternative polyadenylation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, RNA splicing

    small molecule
    protein
  • elevated NUDT21 increases usage of the distal polyadenylation site in the MECP2 3' UTR, resulting in an enrichment of inefficiently translated long mRNA isoforms
  • PAK1 expression is regulated by NUDT21 through its 3'-UTR alternative polyadenylation (APA)
  • interaction between NUDT21 and EZH2 may play an important role in the crosstalk between alternative polyadenylation (APA) and miRNA-mediated gene silencing in Preeclampsia
