Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Post-transcriptional repressor of mRNAs containing a conserved stem loop motif, called constitutive decay element (CDE), which is often located in the 3'-UTR, as in HMGXB3, ICOS, IER3, NFKBID, NFKBIZ, PPP1R10, TNF and in many more mRNAs (By similarity). Binds to CDE and promotes mRNA deadenylation and degradation. This process does not involve miRNAs (By similarity). In follicular helper T (Tfh) cells, represses of ICOS and TNFRSF4 expression, thus preventing spontaneous Tfh cell differentiation, germinal center B-cell differentiation in the absence of immunization and autoimmunity (By similarity). In resting or LPS- stimulated macrophages, controls inflammation by suppressing TNF expression (By similarity). Also recognizes CDE in its own mRNA and in that of paralogous RC3H2, possibly leading to feedback loop regulation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, P-body {ECO:0000250}. Note=During stress, such as that induced by arsenite, localizes to cytosolic stress granules. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in cerebellum, spleen, ovary and liver. {ECO:0000269Ref.3}.
