General annotation (Comments)
| Function | RNA-binding protein. Might be involved in alternative splicing regulation through an interaction with G-quartet RNA structure. Ref.11 |
| Subcellular location | Nucleus speckle. Note: When splicing is inhibited, accumlates in enlarged speckles. Ref.11 |
| Tissue specificity | Brain (most abundant in hippocampus and amygdala), placenta and lung. |
| Involvement in disease | Defects in AFF2 are the cause of mental retardation X-linked associated with fragile site FRAXE (MRFRAXE) [MIM:309548]. A form of mild to moderate mental retardation associated with learning difficulties, communication deficits, attention problems, hyperactivity, and autistic behavior. It is associated with a fragile site on chromosome Xq28. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Note=Caused either by silencing of the AFF2 gene as a consequence of a CCG expansion located upstream of this gene or by deletion within the gene. Loss of AFF2 expression is correlated with FRAXE CCGN expansion. Normal individuals have 6-35 copies of the repeat, whereas cytogenetically positive, developmentally delayed males have more than 200 copies and show methylation of the associated CPG island. Ref.11 Ref.13 |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the AF4 family. |
