QRICH2
Description
QRICH2 (Queuine tRNA Ribonucleosidase 2) is a gene that encodes an enzyme crucial for cellular processes, including tRNA modification and ribosome biogenesis. This enzyme catalyzes the removal of the hypermodified nucleoside queuine from tRNA, a step essential for efficient protein translation. QRICH2 is found in various tissues and plays a role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Mutations in the QRICH2 gene have been linked to several diseases, highlighting its importance in human health.
