SNHG5, Official Symbol SNHG5provided by HGNC Official Full Name small nucleolar RNA host gene 5provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:21026 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000203875 MIM:613263; AllianceGenome:HGNC:21026 Gene type ncRNA RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as U50HG; C6orf160; LINC00044; NCRNA00044 Summary This gene represent a snoRNA host gene and produces a long non-coding RNA. This RNA may regulate gene expression by acting as a sponge for microRNAs. This transcript may also stabilize mRNAs by blocking degradation by staufen double-stranded RNA binding protein 1. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017] Expression Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 203.0), lymph node (RPKM 162.8) and 25 other tissues See more
