pab-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gamete generation; positive regulation of reproductive process; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in P granule and P-body. Part of polysome. Expressed in intestine. Is an ortholog of several human genes including PABPC1 (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1); PABPC3 (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 3); and PABPC4 (poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 4).
