Lsm6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and maturation of SSU-rRNA. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including Lsm2-8 complex; U2-type precatalytic spliceosome; and spliceosomal snRNP complex. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleolus. Is expressed in central nervous system; pancreas epithelium; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LSM6 (LSM6 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated).

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 mouse Lsm6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
