U5 snRNA

U5 snRNA is a small piece of RNA found in cells that helps with the process of editing and forming messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries genetic information from DNA to make proteins. Specifically, U5 snRNA is part of a larger complex called the spliceosome, which is responsible for removing non-coding sections (introns) from pre-mRNA. By guiding and coordinating steps of this splicing process, U5 snRNA ensures that the resulting mRNA is correctly assembled, enabling accurate protein production. Its precise function is crucial for proper gene expression and cell function.
