Lsm5

Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA catabolic process and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including Lsm1-7-Pat1 complex; Lsm2-8 complex; and spliceosomal snRNP complex. Orthologous to human LSM5 (LSM5 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Lsm5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
