U7 small nuclear RNA

U7 small nuclear RNA

The U7 small nuclear RNA (U7 snRNP) is an RNA molecule involved in the splicing of animal histone pre-mRNAs, which are spliced by a different mechanism than nuclear pre-mRNAs and self-splicing introns. The 5' end of U7 RNA is thought to base-pair to a conserved spacer element downstream of the cleavage site in histone pre-mRNA.
