Pabpn1 - poly(A) binding protein, nuclear 1

Enables RNA polymerase binding activity. Involved in MAPK cascade; cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; and positive regulation of polynucleotide adenylyltransferase activity. Located in nucleus. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus. Used to study oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human PABPN1 (poly(A) binding protein nuclear 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
