SNORA21


Description

The SNORA21 (small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 21) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 17.

SNORA21 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that plays a role in the modification of other RNA molecules, specifically ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It directs the methylation of a specific adenosine residue in rRNA, which is essential for the accurate functioning of ribosomes, the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis.

SNORA21 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNA molecules. Specifically, it guides the modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) by directing the methylation of a specific adenosine residue. This modification is crucial for the proper function of ribosomes, which are the protein-synthesizing machinery of cells.

SNORA21 is also known as ACA21.
