Prpf18 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to be involved in generation of catalytic spliceosome for second transesterification step and negative regulation of protein metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of U2-type post-spliceosomal complex; U4/U6 x U5 tri-snRNP complex; and U5 snRNP. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PRPF18 (pre-mRNA processing factor 18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Prpf18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
