Utp6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable snoRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. Orthologous to human UTP6 (UTP6 small subunit processome component). [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 rat Utp6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
