RNU4ATAC RNA, U4atac small nuclear

Gene ID: 100151683, updated on 17-Dec-2023
Gene type: snRNA
Also known as: LWS; RFMN; TALS; MOPD1; U4ATAC; RNU4ATAC1

Summary

The small nuclear RNA (snRNA) encoded by this gene is part of the U12-dependent minor spliceosome complex. In addition to the encoded RNA, this ribonucleoprotein complex consists of U11, U12, U5, and U6atac snRNAs. The U12-dependent spliceosome acts on approximately 700 specific introns in the human genome. Defects in this gene are a cause of microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD).
