Entrez gene ID | | 10594 |
Official gene symbol | | PRPF8 |
Full name | | PRP8 pre-mRNA processing factor 8 homolog (S. cerevisiae) |
Aliases | | ,HPRP8,PRP8,PRPC8,RP13, |
Gene summary | | Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in 2 sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of both U2- and U12-dependent spliceosomes, and found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It contains several WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to yeast Prp8 protein. This gene is a candidate gene for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. [provided by RefSeq] |
