Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein Sm D2 is a
protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residue (biochemistry), residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including Enzyme catalysis, catalysing metab ...
that in humans is encoded by the ''SNRPD2''
gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...
.
It belongs to the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein core protein family, and is required for pre-mRNA splicing and small nuclear ribonucleoprotein biogenesis. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified.
Interactions
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein D2 has been shown to
interact with
DDX20,

[ ]CDC5L
Cell division cycle 5-like protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CDC5L'' gene.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene shares a significant similarity with '' Schizosaccharomyces pombe'' cdc5 gene product, which is a cell ...
SMN1
Survival of motor neuron 1 (''SMN1''), also known as component of gems 1 or ''GEMIN1'', is a gene that encodes the SMN protein in humans.
Gene
''SMN1'' is the telomeric copy of the gene encoding the SMN protein; the centromeric copy is ter ...
