Scaffolding protein that specifically recognizes and binds dimethylarginine-containing proteins. In nucleus, acts as a coactivator: recognizes and binds asymmetric dimethylation on the core histone tails associated with transcriptional activation (H3R17me2a and H4R3me2a) and recruits proteins at these arginine-methylated loci. In cytoplasm, may play a role in the assembly and/or disassembly of mRNA stress granules and in the regulation of translation of target mRNAs by binding Arg/Gly-rich motifs (GAR) in dimethylarginine-containing proteins.
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Predominantly cytoplasmic. Associated with actively translating polyribosomes and with mRNA stress granules. .
Detected in heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.
