PWP2 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 PWP2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
