hnRNP E1 is a member of the hnRNP family of proteins that are involved in pre-mRNA processing and mRNA export, localization, stability, and translation (1-6). hnRNP E1 exerts a wide range of biological functions, such as transcriptional activation of mouse MOR gene expression (7), attenuation of alternative splicing of GHR pseudoexon expression (8), stabilization of collagen I and II (9), beta-globin (10), and androgen receptor (11) mRNAs, and regulation of translation of various genes including Dab2, ILEI, and Bag-1 (12,13). hnRNP E1 is ubiquitously expressed. Phosphorylation of hnRNP E1 affects its RNA binding affinity (13,14).
