SNRNP35

The protein encoded by this gene is a homolog of the U1-snRNP binding protein. The N-terminal half contains a RNA recognition motif and the C-terminal half is rich in Arg/Asp and Arg/Glu dipeptides, which is a characteristic of a variety of splicing factors. This protein is a component of the U11/U12 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNP) that form part of the U12-type spliceosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding two distinct isoforms and representing a non-protein coding variant.
