Rabbit anti Human PCBP1 antibody recognizes PCBP1, also known as alpha-CP1, epididymis secretory protein Li 85, heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1, heterogenous nuclear ribonucleoprotein X and nucleic acid-binding protein SUB2.3.

This intron less gene is thought to have been generated by retrotransposition of a fully processed PCBP-2 mRNA. PCBP1 and PCBP-2 have paralogues (PCBP3 and PCBP4) which are thought to have arisen as a result of duplication events of entire genes. The protein encoded by PCBP1 appears to be multifunctional. It, along with PCBP-2 and hnRNPK corresponds to the major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein. It contains three K-homologous (KH) domains which may be involved in RNA binding. This encoded protein together with PCBP-2 also functions as translational coactivators of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES and promote poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. It has also been implicated in translational control of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human Papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, and hepatitis A virus RNA. The encoded protein is also suggested to play a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008).

Rabbit anti Human PCBP1 antibody detects a band of 37 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
