Fibrillarin (clone 38F3), anti-Y, human, rat

Protein Family: Enzymes

Pathway and Disease: Translation

Description:
Fibrillarin is a nucleolar protein involved in the processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Nop1p is the yeast homologue of a protein found in all eukaryotes and archea generally called fibrillarin. Fibrillarin/Nop1p is extraordinarily conserved, so that the yeast and human proteins are 67% identical, and the human protein can functionally replace the yeast protein. Patients with the autoimmune disease scleroderma often have strong circulating autoantibodies to a ~34kDa protein which was subsequently found to be fibrillarin. Recent studies show that knock-out of the fibrillarin gene in mice results in embryonic lethality, although mice with only one functional fibrillarin/Nop1p gene were viable.

Alternate Names: rRNA 2'-O-methyltransferase fibrillarin, U3 small nucleolar RNA-associated protein NOP1, Nucleolar protein 1, U3 snoRNA-associated protein NOP1, NOP1
