CTU2, Official Symbol CTU2provided by HGNC Official Full Name cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:28005 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000174177 MIM:617057; AllianceGenome:HGNC:28005 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 MFRG; NCS2; UPF0432; C16orf84 Summary This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
