SCARNA1
Description
The SCARNA1 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 1) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 1.
SCARNA1 is a non-coding RNA that is found in Cajal bodies, which are nuclear organelles involved in the processing and assembly of snRNPs and snoRNPs. SCARNA1 is involved in the methylation of specific nucleotides within snoRNAs, contributing to their proper maturation and function.
SCARNA1, also known as small Cajal body-specific RNA 1, is a non-coding RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in the biogenesis of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). These snoRNAs are essential for the modification of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are crucial components of ribosomes responsible for protein synthesis. SCARNA1, along with other snoRNAs, functions within Cajal bodies, nuclear organelles involved in the processing and assembly of snRNPs and snoRNPs. This RNA molecule is believed to be involved in the methylation of specific nucleotides within snoRNAs, contributing to their proper maturation and function.
SCARNA1 is also known as ACA35.
