NCIt definition : Human SFPQ wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p34.3 and is approximately
17 kb in length. This allele, which encodes splicing factor, proline- and glutamine-rich
protein, may play a role in the modulation of RNA processing, transcription and DNA
secondary structure. The gene can be involved in a translocation t(X;1)(p11.2;p34)
with the TFE3 gene in some papillary renal cell carcinomas.;
NCIt note : A complex of the SFPQ gene product and the NONO gene product may play a role in both
RNA splicing and the nuclear retention of defective RNAs. (FEBS Lett. 2002;531:109-14.);
