RBM35B Antibody

RBM35A, also known as ESRP2, is a mRNA splicing factor that with its related protein RBM35A (ESRP1) are coordinators of an epithelial cell-type-specific splicing program. Both RBM35B and RBM35A are involved in posttranscriptional regulation of a number of genes such as FGFR2, CD44, CTNND1, and ENAH by exerting a differential effect on protein translation via 5' UTRs of mRNAs, suggesting that these proteins are global regulators of an epithelial regulatory network. Loss of this global ESRP-regulated epithelial splicing programme induces the phenotypic changes in cell morphology that are observed during the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.
