Abstract

Fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) is a selective RNA binding protein that functions as a translational inhibitor. It also plays a role in directing the transport of a subset of mRNAs to their site of translation and several recent reports have implicated microtubule motor proteins in the transport of FMRP-messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) granules in neurons. Earlier work reported the association of the actin-based motor protein myosin Va with FMRP granules.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 March 2015.
All research outputs
#13,884,264
of 24,558,777 outputs
Outputs from Biology of the Cell
#402
of 736 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#164,818
of 315,838 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biology of the Cell
#1
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,558,777 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 736 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,838 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
