Overview

Y-box Binding Protein 1 (YB-1) is a highly conserved, multifunctional DNA and RNA-binding protein involved in various aspects of nucleic acid metabolism, including transcription, translation, DNA repair, and mRNA splicing. It plays a significant role in cancer biology, particularly in cell proliferation, survival, metastasis, and drug resistance, making it a promising therapeutic target and biomarker. Regulation occurs at multiple levels, including expression, localization, and post-translational modifications like phosphorylation and PARylation.
