Utp6 - UTP6 small subunit processome component

Predicted to enable snoRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; future forebrain; heart; and inner ear. Orthologous to human UTP6 (UTP6 small subunit processome component).
