Snrpb - small nuclear ribonucleoprotein B

Enables histone pre-mRNA DCP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in spliceosomal snRNP assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein methylation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of histone pre-mRNA 3'end processing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; limb; maxillary process; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebrocostomandibular syndrome and mixed connective tissue disease. Orthologous to human SNRPB (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1).
