This gene encodes 54-kD nuclear protein that contains an arginine/serine-rich region similar to segments found in pre-mRNA splicing factors. Although the function of this protein is not yet known, structure and immunolocalization data suggest that it may play a role in pre-mRNA processing.

U2AF2
Splicing factor U2AF 65 kDa subunit is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''U2AF2'' gene.
Function
In eukaryotes, the introns in the transcribed pre-mRNA first have to be removed by spliceosome in order to form a mature mRNA. A spl ...
