U1C protein

U1C is a protein that plays a role in the process of gene expression, specifically in splicing, where segments of RNA are edited before they create proteins. It is part of the U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) complex, which recognizes the beginning of an RNA sequence called the 5' splice site. U1C helps ensure accurate splicing, allowing cells to produce correct proteins. Its function is vital for normal cell activity and gene regulation. Disruptions in U1C can affect how genes are expressed, potentially leading to health issues or diseases.
