SNORD116-18
Description
The SNORD116-18 (small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 116-18) is a snoRNA gene located on chromosome 15.
SNORD116-18 is a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) that is involved in the modification of other RNAs. snoRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs that are found in the nucleolus, a sub-compartment of the nucleus. They are involved in the processing and modification of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), which are essential components of ribosomes, the protein synthesis machinery of the cell. SNORD116-18 is predicted to guide the methylation of uridine residues in rRNA. Methylation is a type of chemical modification that can affect the structure and function of RNA molecules. The precise role of SNORD116-18 in rRNA modification and its contribution to cellular function are still being investigated.
