Gene:
ribonuclease, RNase A family, 4
Gene ID:
195401
Symbol:
RNASE4
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the pancreatic ribonuclease family. It plays an important role in mRNA cleavage and has marked specificity towards the 3' side of uridine nucleotides. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. This gene and ANG share two exons in their 5' UTRs. The downstream exons are unique and contain the coding regions.
