SNU13 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein 13

Gene ID: 4809, updated on 4-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FA1; FA-1; NHPX; 15.5K; OTK27; SSFA1; NHP2L1; SPAG12; SNRNP15-5

Summary

Originally named because of its sequence similarity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae NHP2 (non-histone protein 2), this protein appears to be a highly conserved nuclear protein that is a component of the [U4/U6.U5] tri-snRNP. It binds to the 5' stem-loop of U4 snRNA. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
