SNORA2A


Description

The SNORA2A (small nucleolar RNA, H/ACA box 2A) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 12.

SNORA2A is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. It is a guide RNA that directs the methylation of specific uridine residues in the 18S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This modification is essential for the proper folding and function of the ribosome.

SNORA2A is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs, specifically the methylation of uridines (U) in ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It guides the methylation of specific uridine residues in the 18S rRNA, which is a crucial component of the small ribosomal subunit. This modification is essential for the proper folding and function of rRNA, ultimately impacting protein synthesis.

SNORA2A is also known as ACA2A.
