RNA Binding Motif Protein 8A (RBM8a, RNA Binding Protein 8A, Binder of OVCA1 1, BOV-1, BOV-1A, BOV-1B, BOV-1C, HSPC114, MDS014, Ribonucleoprotein RBM8, RBM8A, RBM8, RBM8B, RNA Binding Protein Y14, ZNRP, ZRNP1)

Y14 (RNA binding motif protein 8A or RBM8A), an RNA-binding protein, contains a conserved RNA-binding motif. Y14 is found predominantly in the nucleus, although it is also present in the cytoplasm. It is preferentially associated with mRNAs produced by splicing, including both nuclear mRNAs and newly exported cytoplasmic mRNAs. It is thought that the protein remains associated with spliced mRNAs as a tag to indicate where introns had been present, thus coupling pre- and post-mRNA splicing events. Previously, it was thought that two genes encode this protein, RBM8A and RBM8B; it is now thought that the RBM8B locus is a pseudogene. Two alternative start codons result in two forms of the protein, and this gene also uses multiple polyadenylation sites.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nWestern Blot: 1:1000\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
