RBM10 is a nuclear RNA-binding protein (RBP) that regulates the alternative splicing of primary transcripts. Recently, research on RBM10 has become increasingly active owing to its clinical importance, as indicated by studies on RBM0 mutations that cause TARP syndrome, an X-linked congenital pleiotropic developmental anomaly, and various cancers such as lung adenocarcinoma in adults. Herein, the molecular biology of RBM10 and its significance in medicine are reviewed, focusing on the gene and protein structures of RBM10, its cell biology, molecular functions and regulation, relationship with the paralogous protein RBM5, and the mutations of RBM10 and their associated diseases. Finally, the challenges in future studies of RBM10 are discussed in the concluding remarks. Copyright © 2021 The Author. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
