PAIP1, Official Symbol PAIP1provided by HGNC Official Full Name poly(A) binding protein interacting protein 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:16945 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000172239 MIM:605184; AllianceGenome:HGNC:16945 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary The protein encoded by this gene interacts with poly(A)-binding protein and with the cap-binding complex eIF4A. It is involved in translational initiation and protein biosynthesis. Overexpression of this gene in COS7 cells stimulates translation. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding three distinct isoforms have been identified.
