title: Sam68, the KH domain-containing superSTAR.
abstract: Sam68 is one of the most studied members of the STAR family of RNA-binding proteins since its identification over a decade ago. Since its ascension into prominence, enormous progress has been made to unmask the link between the RNA-binding properties of Sam68 and the regulation of cellular processes including signal transduction, cell cycle regulation and tumorigenesis and RNA biogenesis in general. In this review we provide a detailed description of the functional domains of Sam68 and the possible biological roles that justify its superSTAR status.
