| ncRNA Symbol: | LSM1 | | Full Name: | LSM1 homolog, mRNA degradation associated | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | CASM|YJL124C | | Chromosome: | chr8 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 38163321 | End Site(bp): | 38176730 | | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the LSm family of RNA-binding proteins. LSm proteins form stable heteromers that bind specifically to the 3'-terminal oligo(U) tract of U6 snRNA and may play a role in pre-mRNA splicing by mediating U4/U6 snRNP formation. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in cellular transformation and the progression of several malignancies including lung cancer, mesothelioma and breast cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 9.
