Description

SF3B5 encodes a subunit of the splicing factor 3b complex, which is part of the U2 snRNP involved in pre-mRNA splicing. The protein is essential for spliceosome assembly and function, particularly in the recognition of the branch point during splicing.

Protein Summary

SF3B5 is a 86-amino acid protein that forms part of the SF3b complex. It interacts with other SF3b subunits to stabilize the U2 snRNP and facilitate branch point recognition. The protein is highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in testis and hematopoietic tissues.
