PRPF3 pre-mRNA processing factor 3

Gene ID: 9129, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRP3; RP18; HPRP3; Prp3p; HPRP3P; SNRNP90

Summary

The removal of introns from nuclear pre-mRNAs occurs on complexes called spliceosomes, which are made up of 4 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles and an undefined number of transiently associated splicing factors. This gene product is one of several proteins that associate with U4 and U6 snRNPs. Mutations in this gene are associated with retinitis pigmentosa-18. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
