  • expressed in the nucleus of neurons, to nuclear speckle
  • contain sequences controlling both nuclear localization and nuclear export, suggesting that it may shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm as part of itsr normal function
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may contribute to control of gene expression in human cells through binding poly(A) RNA
  • could play critical roles in neurons such as ensuring that transcripts are properly targeted to sites of localized translation
  • zinc finger-containing class of nuclear polyadenosine RNA-binding proteins playing an evolutionarily conserved role in controlling the length of the poly(A) tail in neurons
  • ZC3H14 has a conserved role in supporting neuronal axon projection and branching
  • role for ZC3H14 in ensuring proper nuclear processing and retention of ATP5G1 pre-mRNA
  • ZC3H14 modulates likely pre-mRNA processing of select mRNA transcripts and plays a critical role in regulating cellular energy levels, observations that have broad implications for proper neuronal function
  • poly(A) RNA binding protein required for intellectual function
  • ZC3H14 is also a cytoplasmic regulator of neuronal mRNAs
  • is important in RNA processing
