A splicing factor is a protein involved in the removal of introns from strings of messenger RNA, so that the exons can bind together; the process takes place in particles known as spliceosomes.
[1] In a research paper, splicing factors were found to be produced upon application of resveratrol analogues, which induced senescent cells to rejuvenate.
[2][3] The expression of splicing factors may be altered during aging.
[4] Splicing factor 3b is a protein complex consisting of the following proteins: PHF5A, SF3B1, SF3B2, SF3B3, SF3B4, SF3B5, SF3B6.
