Background
This gene encodes a member of the uridine triphosphate 14 family. As an essential component of a large ribonucleoprotein complex bound to the U3 small nucleolar RNA, the encoded protein is involved in ribosome biogenesis and 18S rRNA synthesis. An autosomal retrotransposed copy of this X-linked gene exists on chromosome 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],function:May be required for ribosome biogenesis.,miscellaneous:The human genome also contains the UTP14C gene, an autosomal retrotransposed copy of this X-linked gene. Evolution of autosomal retrogenes from X-linked progenitors compensates for X-chromosome silencing during male meiosis.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the UTP14 family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed.,
