Gene: NCL

Alternate names for this Gene: C23|Nsr1

Gene Summary: Nucleolin (NCL), a eukaryotic nucleolar phosphoprotein, is involved in the synthesis and maturation of ribosomes. It is located mainly in dense fibrillar regions of the nucleolus. Human NCL gene consists of 14 exons with 13 introns and spans approximately 11kb. The intron 11 of the NCL gene encodes a small nucleolar RNA, termed U20.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2q37.1

Description of this Gene: nucleolin
