Utp4 - UTP4 small subunit processome component

Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in chromosome and fibrillar center. Predicted to be part of 90S preribosome; small-subunit processome; and t-UTP complex. Is expressed in peripheral nervous system ganglion; renal cortex; telencephalon ventricular layer; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cholestasis and primary biliary cholangitis. Orthologous to human UTP4 (UTP4 small subunit processome component).
