Background of the antigen
RBM15 is a 977 amino acid protein that localizes to the nucleus and contains one SPOC domain and three RRM domains. Expressed as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, RBM15 interacts with Epstein-Barr (EBV) viral proteins and is thought to be involved in the regulation of Hox genes, possibly via interactions with RNA and spliceosome components. RBM15 is subject to post-translational phosphorylation, probably by ATM or ATR. Chromosomal aberrations involving the RBM15 gene, which localizes to human chromosome 1, may be associated with the development of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.
