snRNP
Noun
Meaning
snRNP (plural snRNPs)
small nuclear ribonucleic particle
Examples
Gems are believed to assist CBs in snRNP biogenesis, citation though it has also been suggested from microscopy evidence that CBs and gems are different manifestations of the same structure.
Unlike CBs, gems do not contain small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), but do contain a protein called survival of motor neuron (SMN) whose function relates to snRNP biogenesis.
