RPP40
Description
The RPP40 (ribonuclease P/MRP subunit p40) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.
RPP40 is a gene that encodes Ribonuclease P protein subunit p40, an enzyme essential for RNA processing.
RPP40 is involved in the production of mature tRNA molecules by cleaving their 5'-ends as part of the ribonuclease P (RNase P) complex. It also participates in the MRP ribonuclease complex, which cleaves pre-rRNA sequences.
RPP40 is also known as RNASEP1, bA428J1.3.
