    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in sterol- mediated repression
  • with PCBP2, stimulate translation of the ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) internal ribosomal entry site (Gerbasi 2007)
  • appeared to function as part of a larger holo-ITAF ribonucleoprotein complex (Gerbasi 2007)
  • essential role in mediating neural crest expansion by controlling proliferation and cell survival rather than via a cell fate switch during rostral head development (Weiner 2007)
  • plays an essential and conserved role during vertebrate head development (Weiner 2007)
  • regulate cap-dependent and cap-independent translation (Huichalaf 2009)
  • is a nucleic acid chaperone implicated in vertebrate craniofacial development, as well as in myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) and sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) human muscle diseases
  • CNBP and LARP1, two of the most strongly enriched viral RNA binders, restrict SARS-CoV-2 replication in infected cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
