Gene:
small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide B''
Gene ID:
198444
Symbol:
SNRPB2
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene associates with stem loop IV of U2 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (U2 snRNP) in the presence of snRNP-A'. The encoded protein may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing. Autoantibodies from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus frequently recognize epitopes on the encoded protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
