SNORA4


Description

The SNORA4 (small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 4) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 3.

SNORA4 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. It acts as a guide RNA for the methylation of uridine residues in ribosomal RNAs. This modification is crucial for the proper function of ribosomes, which are the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis. SNORA4 is also implicated in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation. Mutations in SNORA4 have been associated with various diseases, including cancer.
