  1. The gene names (italics), common names (bold), as well as commonly used alternative names are presented for each protein. Abbreviations are as follows: Y-box binding protein 1, 2, 3 (YBX1, YBX2, YBX3), mouse Y-box protein 1, 2, 3, 4 (MSY1, MSY2, MSY3, MSY4), cold shock domain A, B, C1, C2, D1, D2, E1 (CSDA-CSDE1), calcium-regulated heat stable protein 1 (CARHSP1, CHSP1), calcium regulated heat stable protein 24 kDa (CRHSP-24), abnormal cell lineage protein 28 homolog A, B (LIN28A), DNA binding protein A, B, C (DbpA, DbpB, DbpC), Y-box binding protein 1, 2 (YB-1, YB-2), upstream of N-Ras (UNR), nuclease sensitive element binding protein 1 (NSEP1), enhancer factor I subunit A (EF1A, rat), ZO-1-associated nucleic acid-binding protein (ZONAB), oxidative stress regulatory protein (oxyR), nuclear factor that binds the GM-CSF promoter b (NF-GMB). *Alternatively spliced protein: DbpA has two isoforms, which differ by a single domain of ~ 70 amino acids, whereas the UNR isoforms differ by 31 amino acids
