Gene information for FBL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2091
Official gene symbolFBL
Full namefibrillarin
Aliases,FIB,FLRN,RNU3IP1,
Gene summaryThis gene product is a component of a nucleolar small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particle thought to participate in the first step in processing preribosomal RNA. It is associated with the U3, U8, and U13 small nuclear RNAs and is located in the dense fibrillar component (DFC) of the nucleolus. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal repetitive domain that is rich in glycine and arginine residues, like fibrillarins in other species. Its central region resembles an RNA-binding domain and contains an RNP consensus sequence. Antisera from approximately 8% of humans with the autoimmune disease scleroderma recognize fibrillarin.
