snRNP70 also known as U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein 70 kDa is a protein^[1] that in humans is encoded by the SNRNP70 gene.^[2][3] snRNP70 is a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein that associates with U1 spliceosomal RNA, forming part of the spliceosome.

Interactions

snRNP70 has been shown to interact with ASF/SF2,^[4][5] SRPK1,^[6][7] and ZRANB2.^[8]

Role in autoimmunity

Antibodies towards snRNP70 are associated with mixed connective tissue disease.
