Double-stranded RNA-binding protein Staufen homolog 2 (STAU2)

RNA-binding protein needed for the microtubule- dependent transport of neuronal RNA in the cell body into the dendrite. As protein synthesis occurs within the dendrite, the localization of specific mRNAs into dendrites could be a prerequisite for neurite outgrowth and plasticity at sites remote from the cell body (By similarity).
