U11 spliceosomal RNA
Template:Abbreviation
Type: Gene; snRNA; splicing;
2° structure: Published; PubMed
Seed alignment: Griffiths-Jones S
Avg length: 137.8 nucleotides
Avg identity: 59%

The U11 spliceosomal RNA is a non-coding RNA that together with U4atac/U6atac, U5, and U12 snRNAs and associated proteins, forms a spliceosome that cleaves a divergent class of low-abundance pre-mRNA introns.
