Post-transcriptional gene expression regulation by RBPs. RBPs are responsible for the regulation of the processing and fate of mRNAs. RBPs influence the localization, stability, degradation, and translation of mRNAs through multiple mechanisms of action. RBPs have been shown to have roles in RNA modifications, alternative splicing, the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs), microRNA (miR) mediated regulation of transcripts and miR biogenesis through association with the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC)
