SCARNA17
Description
The SCARNA17 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 17) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 18.
SCARNA17 is a small Cajal body-specific RNA (scaRNA) that is involved in the biogenesis of snoRNAs. snoRNAs are small RNA molecules that guide the modification of rRNAs. SCARNA17 is localized to Cajal bodies, which are nuclear structures that are involved in the assembly and processing of snRNPs and snoRNPs.
SCARNA17, also known as small Cajal body-specific RNA 17, is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule that plays a role in the biogenesis of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs). snoRNAs are essential for the modification of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are crucial for protein synthesis. SCARNA17 localizes to Cajal bodies, nuclear structures that are involved in the assembly and processing of snRNPs and snoRNPs.
SCARNA17 is also known as U91.
