SNORD116-17
Description
The SNORD116-17 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 116-17) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 15.
SNORD116-17 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that belongs to the C/D box snoRNA family. These snoRNAs are involved in the processing and modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). SNORD116-17 is thought to guide the methylation of specific nucleotides within rRNA. Its specific target is currently unknown. The expression of SNORD116-17 is influenced by cellular stress levels, suggesting a potential role in stress response.
SNORD116-17 is a member of the C/D box snoRNA family, which are involved in the processing and modification of ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These snoRNAs guide the methylation of specific nucleotides within rRNA, which is crucial for proper ribosome function. The specific target of SNORD116-17 is unknown, but its expression is influenced by changes in cellular stress levels, suggesting a potential role in stress response.
SNORD116-17 is also known as HBII-85-17.
