Entrez gene ID | 51362 |
Official gene symbol | CDC40 |
Full name | cell division cycle 40 homolog (S. cerevisiae) |
Aliases | ,EHB3,FLJ10564,MGC102802,PRP17,PRPF17, |
Gene summary | Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in two sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It is found in the spliceosome, and contains seven WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to yeast Prp17 protein, which functions in two different cellular processes: pre-mRNA splicing and cell cycle progression. It suggests that this protein may play a role in cell cycle progression. [provided by RefSeq] |
