Aly/REF export factor, also known as THO complex subunit 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ALYREFgene.[1][2]
The protein encoded by this gene is a heat stable, nuclear protein and functions as a molecular chaperone. It is thought to regulate dimerization, DNA binding, and transcriptional activity of basic region-leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins.[3]
