Description

The SCARNA5 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 5) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 2.

Small Cajal body-specific RNA 5 (SCARNA5) is a protein encoded by the SCARNA5 gene in humans. It is localized within Cajal bodies, nuclear structures crucial for the production of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). These snRNPs are vital for the splicing process of pre-messenger RNA.

SCARNA5 is involved in the formation and function of Cajal bodies, which are nuclear substructures essential for the biogenesis of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). These snRNPs play a crucial role in splicing pre-messenger RNA.

SCARNA5 is also known as U87.
