Gene information for GEMIN2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8487
Official gene symbolGEMIN2
Full namesurvival of motor neuron protein interacting protein 1
Aliases,SIP1,SIP1-delta,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes one of the proteins found in the SMN complex, which consists of the suvival of motor neuron protein and several gemin proteins. The SMN complex is localized to a subnuclear compartment called gems (gemini of coiled bodies) and is required for assembly of spliceosomal snRNPs and for pre-mRNA splicing. This protein interacts directly with the survival of motor neuron protein and it is required for formation of the SMN complex. A knockout mouse targeting the mouse homolog of this gene exhibited disrupted snRNP assembly and motor neuron degeneration. [provided by RefSeq]
