gene: prp-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable pre-mRNA intronic binding activity and snRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in spliceosomal tri-snRNP complex assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of U5 snRNP and catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Expressed in germ line. Used to study retinitis pigmentosa 13. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 13. Is an ortholog of human PRPF8 (pre-mRNA processing factor 8).
