In mammalian cancers, many oncogenes and tumor suppressors are under the control of RBPs (Wurth, 2012), among which the RBM24 can bind to the AU/U-rich elements in its target mRNAs and regulate the stability of p21 and p63 mRNA transcripts (Jiang et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2014). Here, RBM24 is linked to cancer.
