Gene: TUT1

Alternate names for this Gene: PAPD2|RBM21|STARPAP|TENT1|TUTase|URLC6

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nucleotidyl transferase that functions as both a terminal uridylyltransferase and a nuclear poly(A) polymerase. The encoded enzyme specifically adds and removes nucleotides from the 3' end of small nuclear RNAs and select mRNAs and may function in controlling gene expression and cell proliferation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q12.3

Description of this Gene: terminal uridylyl transferase 1, U6 snRNA-specific

Type of Gene: protein-coding
