Description

Binds pre-mRNA and nucleates the assembly of 40S hnRNP particles (PubMed:8264621). Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs, a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs that affects mRNA splicing, processing and stability. M6A alters the local structure in mRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) via a mechanism named 'm(6)A-switch' to facilitate binding of HNRNPC, leading to regulation of mRNA splicing (PubMed:25719671). Single HNRNPC tetramers bind 230-2
