TUT1
Official Full Name
terminal uridylyl transferase 1, U6 snRNA-specific
Background
This gene encodes a nucleotidyl transferase that functions as both a terminal uridylyltransferase and a nuclear poly(A) polymerase. The encoded enzyme specifically adds and removes nucleotides from the 3 end of small nuclear RNAs and select mRNAs and may function in controlling gene expression and cell proliferation.
