Preferred Label : Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein M;
NCIt synonyms : M4 Protein; hnRNA-Binding Protein M4; CEA Receptor; N-Acetylglucosamine Receptor 1; hnRNP M;
NCIt definition : Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M (730 aa, 78 kDa) is encoded by the human
HNRNPM gene. This protein plays a role in the mediation of RNA splicing.;
NCIt note : Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M also constitutes a monomer of the N-acetylglucosamine-specific
receptor which is postulated to trigger selective recycling of immature GlcNAc-bearing
thyroglobulin molecules. (EntrezGene); Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein M acts as a receptor for carcinoembryonic
antigen in Kupffer cells, and may initiate signaling events leading to tyrosine phosphorylation
of proteins and induction of IL-1 alpha, IL-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor alpha
cytokines. (UniProt);
