[7][8] This gene belongs to the subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs).

The hnRNP proteins have distinct nucleic acid binding properties.

The protein encoded by this gene, which binds to one of the components of the multiprotein editosome complex, has two repeats of quasi-RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains that bind to RNAs.

Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
