U2AF1L4 Proteins and Enzymes

RNA-binding protein that function as a pre-mRNA splicing factor. Plays a critical role in both constitutiveand enhancer-dependent splicing by mediating protein-protein interactions and protein-RNA interactions required foraccurate 3'-splice site selection. Acts by enhancing the binding of U2AF2 to weak pyrimidine tracts. Also participatesin the regulation of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. Activates exon 5 skipping of PTPRC during T cell activation; anevent reversed by GFI1. Binds to RNA at the AG dinucleotide at the 3'-splice site
