SMG5

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: SMG5
  • Official Name: SMG5 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 23381
  • UniProt: Q9UPR3
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Plays a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Does not have RNase activity by itself. Promotes dephosphorylation of UPF1. Together with SMG7 is thought to provide a link to the mRNA degradation machinery involving exonucleolytic pathways, and to serve as an adapter for UPF1 to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby triggering UPF1 dephosphorylation. Necessary for TERT activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17053788}.
