Summary
Enables U6 snRNA binding activity and protein N-terminus binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to virus; positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Located in annulate lamellae; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Part of nuclear pore. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
