Description

CELF5 (CUGBP Elav-like family member 5) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19p13.3. It encodes an RNA-binding protein belonging to the CELF family, which regulates alternative splicing, mRNA stability, and translation. CELF5 is predominantly expressed in the nervous system and plays a role in neuronal development and function.

c.1234C>T (p.Arg412Trp) Missense Rare Unknown functional impact
c.567delA (p.Lys189fs) Frameshift Very rare Predicted loss of function
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Frameshift mutations (e.g., c.567delA) likely cause loss of RNA-binding activity.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Not documented for CELF5.

Pathways

Alternative splicing regulation
mRNA surveillance pathway

Protein Summary

CELF5 is a 486-amino acid RNA-binding protein containing three RNA recognition motifs (RRMs). It binds to GU-rich elements in pre-mRNA and regulates alternative splicing, particularly in neurons. The protein shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm, influencing mRNA stability and translation.
