U106C

U106C is a variant of the human U10 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) family. snRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play crucial roles in the splicing of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) during gene expression. U106C is a member of the U10 family, which includes U10, U10A, U10B, and U10C. These snRNAs are involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA at the 5' splice site.

U106C is primarily expressed in the brain and is involved in the regulation of gene expression in this tissue. It has been shown to interact with the splicing factor hnRNP A1, which is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing. U106C has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

The exact function of U106C is not fully understood, but it is believed to play a role in the regulation of gene expression in the brain. Further research is needed to elucidate its precise role in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders and to develop potential therapeutic targets.
