Gene:
Crn, crooked neck-like 1 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
206473
Symbol:
CRNKL1
Species:
1000
Description:
The crooked neck (crn) gene of Drosophila is essential for embryogenesis and is thought to be involved in cell cycle progression and pre-mRNA splicing. This gene is similar in sequence to crn and encodes a protein which can localize to pre-mRNA splicing complexes in the nucleus. The encoded protein, which contains many tetratricopeptide repeats, is required for pre-mRNA splicing.
