RBM3 is known to be induced by cold shock and low oxygen tension . This induction is part of the cellular response to stress, allowing cells to adapt to harsh conditions. The expression of RBM3 is regulated at the transcriptional level, and multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified .
RBM3 enhances global protein synthesis at both physiological and mild hypothermic temperatures . It reduces the relative abundance of microRNAs when overexpressed and enhances the phosphorylation of translation initiation factors, leading to active polysome formation . These functions are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and promoting cell survival under stress conditions.
Human recombinant RBM3 is used in various research applications to study its role in cellular processes and its potential as a therapeutic target. The recombinant protein is produced using advanced biotechnological methods to ensure high purity and activity.
