PTBP2

Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 2, also known as PTBP2, is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the PTBP2 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The protein encoded by this gene binds to the intronic cluster of RNA regulatory elements, downstream control sequence (DCS). It is implicated in controlling the assembly of other splicing-regulatory proteins. This protein is very similar to the is_associated_with::polypyrimidine tract-binding protein is_associated_with::PTBP1 but it is expressed primarily in the brain.
