LSM5 LSM5 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated

Gene ID: 23658, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: YER146W

Summary

Sm-like proteins were identified in a variety of organisms based on sequence homology with the Sm protein family (see SNRPD2; MIM 601061). Sm-like proteins contain the Sm sequence motif, which consists of 2 regions separated by a linker of variable length that folds as a loop. The Sm-like proteins are thought to form a stable heteromer present in tri-snRNP particles, which are important for pre-mRNA splicing.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]
