SNORD116-12
Description
The SNORD116-12 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 116-12) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 15.
SNORD116-12 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. It is located in the nucleolus, which is a subcellular compartment within the nucleus where ribosomes are assembled. SNORD116-12 is predicted to guide the methylation of uridines (U) to pseudouridines (ψ) in ribosomal RNA (rRNA). This modification is important for the proper folding and function of rRNA, and ultimately for the production of proteins. SNORD116-12 is also predicted to interact with other snoRNAs and proteins in the nucleolus, suggesting that it may play a role in the regulation of ribosome biogenesis.
