Snrpa - small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A

Predicted to enable U1 snRNA binding activity; U1 snRNP binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and regulation of mRNA polyadenylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of U1 snRNP and spliceosomal complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in connective tissue disease. Orthologous to human SNRPA (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
