SCARNA13
Description
The SCARNA13 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 13) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 14.
SCARNA13 is a small Cajal body-specific RNA that is involved in the biogenesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It localizes to Cajal bodies, nuclear organelles involved in the processing and modification of snRNAs and rRNAs. SCARNA13 is thought to act as a guide RNA, directing the modification of specific nucleotides within rRNA molecules.
SCARNA13, also known as small Cajal body-specific RNA 13, is a non-coding RNA that plays a crucial role in the biogenesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It localizes to Cajal bodies, nuclear organelles involved in the processing and modification of snRNAs and rRNAs. SCARNA13 is thought to act as a guide RNA, directing the modification of specific nucleotides within rRNA molecules. This modification is essential for the proper folding and function of ribosomes, which are responsible for protein synthesis. By regulating rRNA processing, SCARNA13 contributes to the overall efficiency and accuracy of protein production in the cell.
SCARNA13 is also known as U93.
