Ro60 Antibody / SS-A / TROVE2

Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to interferon-alpha and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. The cDNA that encodes the 60-kD Ro/SSA autoantigen recognized by autoantibodies in certain lupus erythematosus (152700) and Sjogren syndrome (270150) sera was cloned and sequenced by Deutscher et al. (1988) and confirmed with minor differences by Ben-Chetrit et al. (1989).
