RNU4ATAC

RNA, U4atac small nuclear (U12-dependent splicing) is a is_associated_with::small nuclear RNA that in humans that is encoded by the RNU4ATAC is_associated_with::gene.

The small nuclear RNA (snRNA) encoded by this gene is part of the U12-dependent minor is_associated_with::spliceosome complex. In addition to the encoded RNA, this ribonucleoprotein complex consists of U11, U12, U5, and U6atac snRNAs. The U12-dependent spliceosome acts on approximately 700 specific introns in the human genome. Defects in this gene are a cause of microcephalic osteodysplastic is_associated_with::primordial dwarfism type 1 (MOPD).
