Full name: cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C16orf84; MFRG; NCS2; UPF0432

Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
