Synonyms | SMIF |
Function | Necessary for the degradation of mRNAs, both in normal mRNA turnover and in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (PubMed:12417715). Removes the 7-methyl guanine cap structure from mRNA molecules, yielding a 5'- phosphorylated mRNA fragment and 7m-GDP (PubMed:12417715). Contributes to the transactivation of target genes after stimulation by TGFB1 (PubMed:11836524). Essential for embryonic development (PubMed:33813271). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, P-body. Nucleus. Note=Co- localizes with NANOS3 in the processing bodies (By similarity) Predominantly cytoplasmic, in processing bodies (PB) (PubMed:16364915) Nuclear, after TGFB1 treatment. Translocation to the nucleus depends on interaction with SMAD4 (PubMed:11836524) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91YD3, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11836524, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16364915} |
Tissue Location | Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney and pancreas. |
