EXOSC8 Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 299 amino acids (1-276) and having a molecular mass of 32.4 kDa. EXOSC8 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Exosome component 8 and transcription factor 4 (EXOSC8) is a part of the exosome complex. In the cytoplasm, the RNA exosome complex is engaged in general mRNA turnover and specifically degrades naturally unstable mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs) within their 3' untranslated regions, and in RNA inspection pathways, preventing translation of aberrant mRNAs. EXOSC8 appears to be involved in degradation of histone mRNA. EXOSC8 attaches to ARE-containing RNAs. The EXOSC8 gene encodes a 3'-5' exoribonuclease, which specifically interacts with mRNAs containing AU-rich elements. The EXOSC8 protein is part of the exosome complex, which is significant for the degradation of many RNA species.
