RTCA RNA 3'-terminal phosphate cyclase

Gene ID: 8634, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RPC; RTC1; RTCD1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the RNA 3'-phosphate cyclase family. The encoded protein plays a role in RNA metabolism by catalyzing the ATP-dependent conversion of the 3'-phosphate of RNA substrates to a 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
