Description
Enables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and mRNA 3′-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; cellular response to growth factor stimulus; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within mRNA catabolic process. Located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; cytosol; and nucleus. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Colocalizes with RISC-loading complex.
