Vectors for Human UPF1

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol UPF1
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name UPF1 RNA helicase and ATPase
  • Other Aliases HUPF1; NORF1; RENT1; UTF; pNORF1; smg-2
  • Other Desigations regulator of nonsense transcripts 1; ATP-dependent helicase RENT1; UPF1 regulator of nonsense transcripts homolog; delta helicase; nonsense mRNA reducing factor 1; smg-2 homolog, nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor; up-frameshift mutation 1 homolog; up-frameshift suppressor 1 homolog; yeast Upf1p homolog
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a protein that is part of a post-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclear export and mRNA surveillance. mRNA surveillance detects exported mRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstream from the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrade mRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein is located only in the cytoplasm. When translation ends, it interacts with the protein that is a functional homolog of yeast Upf2p to trigger mRNA decapping. Use of multiple polyadenylation sites has been noted for this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
