GEMIN4 gem nuclear organelle associated protein 4

Gene ID: 50628, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: p97; HC56; HCAP1; HHRF-1; NEDMCR

Summary

The product of this gene is part of a large complex localized to the cytoplasm, nucleoli, and to discrete nuclear bodies called Gemini bodies (gems). The complex functions in spliceosomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm, and regenerates spliceosomes required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus. The encoded protein directly interacts with a DEAD box protein and several spliceosome core proteins. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
