Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable U1 snRNP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including methylosome; spliceosomal complex; and spliceosomal snRNP complex. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human SNRPD2 (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D2 polypeptide).
