Description | Homo sapiens small nucleolar RNA host gene 5 (non-protein coding) (SNHG5), non-coding RNA. |
RefSeq Summary | This gene is a member of both the non-protein-coding multiple snoRNA host gene family and the 5'-terminal oligopyrimidine (5' TOP) class of genes. Two snoRNAs are derived from the introns of this host gene but, although many alternative splice variants have been observed, the gene is thought to have no protein-coding potential. The gene is located at the chromosomal translocation breakpoint involved in B-cell lymphoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |
