Quaking homolog, KH domain RNA binding (mouse), also known as QKI, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the QKI gene. [5] [6]

QKI belongs to a family of RNA-binding proteins called STAR proteins for Signal Transduction and Activation of RNA. [7] They have an HNRNPK homology (KH) domain embedded in a 200-amino acid region called the GSG domain. Other members of this family include SAM68 (KHDRBS1) and SF1 . [8] Two more new members are KHDRBS3 [9] and KHDRBS2. [10]

The QKI gene is implicated as being important in schizophrenia, [11] [12] and QKI controls translation of many oligodendrocyte-related genes.

Angiogenin

Angiogenin (Ang) also known as ribonuclease 5 is a small 123 amino acid protein that in humans is encoded by the ANG gene. Angiogenin is a potent stimulator of new blood vessels through the process of angiogenesis. Ang hydrolyzes cellular RNA, resulting in modulated levels of protein synthesis and interacts with DNA causing a promoter-like increase in the expression of rRNA. Ang is associated with cancer and neurological disease through angiogenesis and through activating gene expression that suppresses apoptosis.
