    Summary
    Predicted to enable U2 snRNA binding activity. Involved in chromatin organization and spermatogenesis. Part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome and precatalytic spliceosome. Is expressed in organism; ovary; and testis. Used to study azoospermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in connective tissue disease. Orthologous to human SNRPA1 (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide A'). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
