NXF5
Description
The NXF5 (nuclear RNA export factor 5) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome X.
NXF5, also known as Nuclear Export Factor 5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NXF5 gene. NXF5 is a member of the nuclear export factor (NXF) family, which mediates the export of messenger RNA (mRNA) from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. NXF5 specifically binds to a particular type of mRNA known as 'snRNA', which plays a crucial role in splicing, the process of removing introns and joining exons in pre-mRNA. NXF5 is essential for the proper localization and function of snRNAs in the cytoplasm, where they assemble into the spliceosome complex and participate in splicing. Mutations in NXF5 have been linked to genetic disorders, highlighting its importance in the regulation of gene expression.
