Full name: U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein C

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: Snrp1c; U1-C; U1C

Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA binding activity; U1 snRNP binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA 5'-splice site recognition and spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Predicted to be located in Cajal body. Predicted to be part of U1 snRNP. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in connective tissue disease; mixed connective tissue disease; and systemic lupus erythematosus. Orthologous to human SNRPC (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
