PHF5A PHD finger protein 5A

Gene ID: 84844, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: INI; Rds3; SF3B7; SAP14b; SF3b14b; bK223H9.2

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the splicing factor 3b protein complex. Splicing factor 3b, together with splicing factor 3a and a 12S RNA unit, forms the U2 small nuclear ribonucleoproteins complex (U2 snRNP). The splicing factor 3b/3a complex binds pre-mRNA upstream of the intron's branch site in a sequence-independent manner and may anchor the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA. The protein encoded by this gene contains a PHD-finger-like domain that is flanked by highly basic N- and C-termini. This protein belongs to the PHD-finger superfamily and may act as a chromatin-associated protein. This gene has several pseudogenes on different chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
