Background
The protein encoded by this gene is involved in mRNA splicing and may play a role in the
determination of alternative splicing. The encoded nuclear protein belongs to the splicing
factor SR family and has been shown to bind with and modulate another member of the
family, SFRS12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. In addition, two
pseudogenes, one on chromosome 17 and the other on the X chromosome, have been found
for this gene
