LSM2, Official Symbol LSM2provided by HGNC Official Full Name LSM2 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associatedprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:13940 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000204392 MIM:607282; AllianceGenome:HGNC:13940 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as G7B; snRNP; C6orf28; YBL026W Summary 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.
