RBM6 polyclonal antibody

DEF-3 and LUCA15 belong to an evolutionarily conserved family of RNA binding proteins and share similiar expression patterns. Both DEF-3 and LUCA15 are highly expressed in adult heart and thymus as well as fetal kidney. Conversely, fetal thymus and adult kidney express very little DEF-3 and LUCA15. In the haemopoietic system of mice, the expression of DEF-3 is downregulated upon differentiation of progenitor cells into granulocytes but persists during macrophage development. Both DEF-3 and LUCA15 contain two zinc finger motifs, a bipartite nuclear signal and two RNA binding motifs. DEF-3 and LUCA15 are capable of specifically binding poly(G) RNA
