Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable U1 snRNP binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of U1 snRNP; U4/U6 x U5 tri-snRNP complex; and spliceosomal complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in connective tissue disease. Orthologous to human SNRPA (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A).
