About UPF1

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:18,831,959-18,868,230 (from NCBI)

This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants), 252 orthologues, 10 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 26.0), kidney (RPKM 17.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is part of a post-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclear export and mRNA surveillance. mRNA surveillance detects exported mRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstream from the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrade mRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein is located only in the cytoplasm. When translation ends, it interacts with the protein that is a functional homolog of yeast Upf2p to trigger mRNA decapping. Use of multiple polyadenylation sites has been noted for this gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
