This gene is a member of theglycine-rich RNA-binding protein family and encodes a protein with one RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain. Expression of this gene is induced by cold shock and low oxygen tension. Apseudogene exists on chromosome 1. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding differentisoforms, have been characterized.[5] RBM3 contains apoison exon whose inclusion is lowered duringhypothermia.[6]
RBM3 is cold-induced RNA binding protein and is involved in mRNA biogenesis exerts anti-apoptotic effects.[7] According toantibody-based profiling andtranscriptomics analysis, RBM3 protein is present in all analysed human tissues[8] and based onconfocal microscopy mainly localised to thenucleoplasm.[9]
