INTS8 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a subunit of the Integrator complex which is involved in the cleavage of small nuclear RNAs U1 and U2 within the nucleus. The encoded protein associates with RNA polymerase II and is recruited to the U1 and U2 small nuclear RNA genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human INTS8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
