Hnrnpab - heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A/B

This gene encodes a protein with consensus RNA binding domains present in a number of other RNA binding proteins and a glycine-rich C-terminus. This gene overlaps in a tail-to-tail orientation the gene encoding alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2-like 2. Some of the exons of this gene are interspersed with exons of alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2-like 2. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct proteins have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
