General Description

SNRPB (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated protein B) is an important constituent of the spliceosome. It codes for SmB/B′ (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptides B and B1). It is located on human chromosome 20p13. SmB′/B are upregulated in all tissues excluding postnatal brain.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SNRPB (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated protein B) mutations results in cerebro-costo-mandibular syndrome. Downregulation of SNRPB affects the upregulation and processing of RNA splicing machinery components. It also plays a major role in RNA stability.
