LSM2 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated

C6orf28

YBL026W

chromosome 6 open reading frame 28

LSM2 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA associated (S. cerevisiae)

U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm2

Protein G7b

Small nuclear ribonuclear protein D homolog

snRNP core Sm-like protein Sm-x5

This gene encodes a member of the LSm family of RNA-binding proteins. LSm proteins form stable heteromers that bind specifically to the 3'-terminal oligo(U) tract of U6 snRNA and may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing by mediating U4/U6 snRNP formation. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arm of chromosomes 6 and 19. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011].
