Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to be involved in generation of catalytic spliceosome for second transesterification step and negative regulation of protein metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of U2-type post-spliceosomal complex; U4/U6 x U5 tri-snRNP complex; and U5 snRNP. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PRPF18 (pre-mRNA processing factor 18).
