Description
Product Characteristics: SNRPA1 contains 3 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats and belongs to the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein A family. It is associated with sn-RNP U2 and helps the A' protein to bind stem loop IV of U2 snRNA.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene associates with stem loop II of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein, which binds the 5' splice site of precursor mRNAs and is required for splicing. The encoded protein autoregulates itself by polyadenylation inhibition of its own pre-mRNA via dimerization and has been implicated in the coupling of splicing and polyadenylation.
