Quaking homolog, KH domain RNA binding (mouse), also known as QKI, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the QKIgene.[1][2]
QKI belongs to a family of RNA-binding proteins called STAR proteins for Signal Transduction and Activation of RNA.[3] 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 .[4] Two more new members are KHDRBS3[5] and KHDRBS2.[6]
The QKI gene is implicated as being important in schizophrenia,[7][8] and QKI controls translation of many oligodendrocyte-related genes.
