CCK Proteins and Enzymes

The regulated translation of messenger RNA is essential for cell-cycle progression, establishment of the body plan during early development and modulation of key activities in the central nervous system. Cytoplasmic polyadenylation, one mechanism of controlling translation, is driven by cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein, CPEB. CPEB is a highly conserved, sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that binds to the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element, thereby modulating ...
