SNORD116-15


Description

The SNORD116-15 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 116-15) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 15.

SNORD116-15 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) gene.

SNORD116-15 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. SnoRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that guide the modification of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and other RNAs. SNORD116-15 is predicted to guide the methylation of uridines in rRNA, which is important for the proper folding and function of ribosomes. Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, so SNORD116-15 plays a role in the production of proteins in cells.

SNORD116-15 is also known as HBII-85-15.
