Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 2, also known as PTBP2, is a
protein which in humans is encoded by the ''PTBP2''
gene.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene binds to the intronic cluster of
RNA regulatory elements, downstream control sequence (DCS). It is implicated in controlling the assembly of other splicing-regulatory proteins. This protein is very similar to the
polypyrimidine tract-binding protein
Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein, also known as PTB or hnRNP I, is an RNA-binding protein. PTB functions mainly as a splicing regulator, although it is also involved in alternative 3' end processing, mRNA stability and RNA localization. Two ...
PTBP1 but it is expressed primarily in the brain.
