SMG1P5
Description
The SMG1P5 (SMG1 pseudogene 5) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 16.
SMG1P5 (SMG1 partner 5) is a gene that encodes a protein involved in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). NMD is a cellular process that degrades mRNAs containing premature stop codons, preventing the production of truncated and potentially harmful proteins.
SMG1P5, also known as SMG1 partner 5, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMG1P5 gene. It is a component of the SMG1 complex, a key regulator of nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This complex plays a critical role in the surveillance of mRNAs, ensuring that transcripts containing premature stop codons are degraded. SMG1P5's specific role within the complex is to aid in the recognition and binding of mRNAs containing these premature termination codons, contributing to the overall NMD process. Through its involvement in NMD, SMG1P5 contributes to the regulation of gene expression by preventing the production of truncated and potentially harmful proteins.
SMG1P5 is also known as -.
