SNORD27small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 27
snoid : SR0000059
Length : 72
Abstract : Homo sapiens C/D box snoRNA U27. This snoRNA was initially characterized as a conserved intronic sequence in the U22 host gene, UHG. Other introns of the same gene host the C/D box snoRNAs U25 to U31 (Tycowski, Shu and Steitz, 1996). U27 was postulated to guide the 2'O-ribose methylation of 18S rRNA A27 by Kiss-Laszlo et al. (1996).
