| Function | Appears to play a role in the switch from cap-dependent to IRES-mediated translation during mitosis, apoptosis and viral infection. Cleaved by some caspases and viral proteases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11511540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11943866, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9032289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9049310}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitously expressed in all adult tissues examined, with high levels in skeletal muscle and heart. Also expressed in fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9030685, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9032289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9049310}. |
