Full name: UTP14A small subunit processome component

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: NYCO16; SDCCAG16; Utp14; dJ537K23.3

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the uridine triphosphate 14 family. As an essential component of a large ribonucleoprotein complex bound to the U3 small nucleolar RNA, the encoded protein is involved in ribosome biogenesis and 18S rRNA synthesis. An autosomal retrotransposed copy of this X-linked gene exists on chromosome 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 5.9), appendix (RPKM 5.8) and 25 other tissues

Gene size: 23589bp

Exon count: 18
