AffiAB® Anti-Gemin 1 Antibody [JG38-19]

The SMN complex plays a catalyst role in the assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) , the building blocks of the spliceosome. Thereby, plays an important role in the splicing of cellular pre-mRNAs. Ensures the correct splicing of U12 intron-containing genes that may be important for normal motor and proprioceptive neurons development. Also required for resolving RNA-DNA hybrids created by RNA polymerase II, that form R-loop in transcription terminal regions, an important step in proper transcription termination. May also play a role in the metabolism of small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNPs) .
