Summary: Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hemopoiesis; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and positive regulation of mRNA catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, deadenylation-dependent decay. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
