Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Mex-3 homolog D (C. elegans) , also known as MEX3D , is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEX3D gene .[ 5] [ 6]
MEX3D is an RNA binding protein that interacts with AU-rich elements of Bcl-2 . Upon binding, MEX3D has a negative regulatory action on Bcl-2 expression at the posttranscriptional level.[ 6]
MEX3 proteins contain two N-terminal heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K homology motifs ( KH domain ) and a RING domain at the C-terminus.[ 6]
