SRSF2

Also known as PR264, SC-35, SC35, SFRS2, SFRS2A, SRp30b, serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2, serine and arginine rich splicing factor 2

Serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SRSF2 gene. MDS-associated splicing factor SRSF2 affects the expression of Class III and Class IV isoforms and perturbs granulopoiesis and SRSF2 P95H promotes Class IV splicing by binding to key ESE sequences in CSF3R exon 17, and that SRSF2, when mutated, contributes to dysgranulopoiesis.

SRSF2

Name: serine and arginine rich splicing factor 2
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: PR264, SC-35, SC35, SFRS2, SFRS2A, SRp30b

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the serine/arginine (SR)-rich family of pre-mRNA splicing factors, which constitute part of the spliceosome. Each of these factors contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM) for binding RNA and an RS domain for binding other proteins. The RS domain is rich in serine and arginine residues and facilitates interaction between different SR splicing factors. In addition to being critical for mRNA splicing, the SR proteins have also been shown to be involved in mRNA export from the nucleus and in translation. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein and one non-coding transcript variant have been found for this gene. In addition, a pseudogene of this gene has been found on chromosome 11.
