| Description |
The arginine/serine-rich coiled-coil 1 protein (RSRC1) was initially identified as a non-snRNP splicing factor that has a role in both the constitutive and alternative splicing of pre-mRNA molecules. In cellular nuclear extracts immunodepleted of RSRC1, the second step of pre-mRNA splicing is blocked; recombinant RSRC1 is able to restore splicing activity. RSRC1 has also been reported to be associated with schizophrenia as well as a unique marker of bone marrow-derived stem cells that also express the cdc34 marker.
