SCARNA6
Description
The SCARNA6 (small Cajal body-specific RNA 6) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 2.
SCARNA6 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the biogenesis of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). snoRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that guide the modification of rRNA. SCARNA6 is a box C/D snoRNA, which means that it contains two conserved sequence motifs, box C and box D. These motifs are essential for the recruitment of snoRNA-associated proteins, which are required for the proper localization and function of snoRNAs. SCARNA6 is known to guide the 2'-O-methylation of a specific residue in rRNA. 2'-O-methylation is a type of RNA modification that can affect the structure and function of rRNA. The precise role of SCARNA6 in rRNA biogenesis is not fully understood, but it is likely to be important for the production of functional ribosomes.
