MEX3D

Mex-3 homolog D (C. elegans), also known as MEX3D, is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the MEX3D is_associated_with::gene.

Function
MEX3D is an RNA binding protein that interacts with is_associated_with::AU-rich elements of is_associated_with::Bcl-2. Upon binding, MEX3D has a negative regulatory action on Bcl-2 expression at the posttranscriptional level.

Structure
MEX3 proteins contain two N-terminal heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology motifs ( is_associated_with::KH domain ) and a is_associated_with::RING domain at the C-terminus.
