Hu proteins

Hu proteins are a family of RNA-binding proteins involved in regulating the stability, translation, and processing of RNA molecules within cells. They play a crucial role in controlling how genes are expressed, especially in nerve cells, by binding to specific RNA sequences and influencing their fate. Proper functioning of Hu proteins is essential for cellular health and development, and their malfunction has been linked to neurological diseases and certain cancers. Overall, they act as key regulators that help determine how genetic information is used to maintain normal cell function.
