RNA binding proteins (RBPs) are essential molecules that interact with RNA to regulate its function and stability. They play a crucial role in various cellular processes, including gene expression, RNA splicing, and translation. By binding to specific RNA sequences, RBPs can influence how RNA is processed and used within the cell. These proteins can also help transport RNA to different locations within the cell and protect it from degradation. Dysregulation of RBPs is associated with several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, highlighting their importance in maintaining cellular health and function.
