Y-box-binding protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the YBX2 gene.
YBX2 is a germ-cell specific member of the vertebrate Y box family of nucleic acid-binding proteins (Gu et al., 1998 [PubMed 9780336]; Tekur et al., 1999 [PubMed 10100484]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
Function: Major constituent of messenger ribonucleoprotein particles (mRNPs). Involved in the regulation of the stability and/or translation of germ cell mRNAs. Binds to Y-box consensus promoter element. Binds to full length mRNA with high affinity in a sequence-independent manner. Binds to short RNA sequences containing the consensus site 5'-UCCAUCA-3' with low affinity and limited sequence specificity. Its binding with maternal mRNAs is necessary for its cytoplasmic retention. May mark specific mRNAs (those transcribed from Y-box promoters) in the nucleus for cytoplasmic storage, thereby linking transcription and mRNA storage/translational delay (By similarity).
