GRSF1 Products

The GRSF1 gene encodes a sequence factor 1 protein that plays a role in binding RNAs that contain the 14 base G-rich element. This protein is located in the cytoplasm and encourages transmission of viral mRNAs in vitro. It codes for two isoforms: Isoform 1 is 480 amino acids long at 53 kDA while isoform 2 is 318 amino acids long at a mass of approximately 36 kDA. The GRSF1 gene interacts with the ICT1, FTSJ1, APC, ULK2, and GABARAP genes. Research on influenza and neuronitis have explored the role of GRSF1 in the development of these diseases.
