Khnyn - KH and NYN domain containing

This gene encodes a protein with a C-terminal RNA modifying domain that belongs to a family of ribonucleases typified by eukaryotic Nedd4-binding protein1 and the bacterial YacP-like nucleases (NYN). The NYN domain shares a common protein fold with two other groups of nucleases, the PilT N-terminal nuclease and FLAP nuclease superfamilies. In addition to the NYN domain, the protein encoded by this gene also contains an N-terminal K homology RNA-binding domain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
