PRPF18 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in 2 sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It is found in the spliceosome, and contains seven WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to the yeast splicing factor Prp18. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], function:Participates in the second step of pre-mRNA splicing., similarity:Belongs to the PRP18 family., subcellular location:Colocalizes with spliceosomal snRNPs., subunit:Heterodimer with PPIH. Interacts with PRPF4 and with the spliceosome. Part of a complex containing U4/U6 snRNPs.
