Polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1 (PTBP1)

Activates exon skipping of its own pre-mRNA during muscle cell differentiation. Binds to the polypyrimidine tract of introns.

May promote RNA looping when bound to two different polypyrimidine tracts at the same pre-mRNA. May promote the binding of U2 snRNP to pre-mRNA.
