The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA-binding protein that regulates pre-mRNA splicing, export of mRNAs from the nucleus, protein translation, and mRNA stability. The encoded protein is involved in myelinization and oligodendrocyte differentiation and may play a role in schizophrenia. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.,QKI, Hqk, QK, QK1, QK3, hqkI, protein quaking,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Signal Transduction,Neuroscience,QK1
