RRBP1 is a membrane-bound protein found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It was originally identified as the ribosome receptor for the ER,[5] however several groups later demonstrated that this activity did not co-fractionate with RRBP1 [6][7] but rather with Sec61 (i.e. the translocon).[8][9] RRBP1 can enhance the association of certain mRNAs to the endoplasmic reticulum in a manner that does not require ribosome activity, likely by directly associating the mRNA's phosphate backbone.[10] In addition, RRBP1 may promote the association of polysomes with the translocon [11][12] and play a role in ER morphology.[13] RRBP1 may also bind to microtubules.[14] Although the p180 isoform is the most abundant, it may exist in different forms due to removal of tandem repeats by partial intraexonic splicing. RRBP1 has been excluded as a candidate gene in the cause of Alagille syndrome.[4]
