Small nucleolar RNA SNORD83 explained

Small nucleolar RNA SNORD83
Symbol:	SNORD83
Altsymbols:	U83
Rfam:	RF00137
Rna Type:	Gene snRNA; snoRNA; CD-box
Tax Domain:	Eukaryota

In molecular biology, Small nucleolar RNA SNORD83 (also known as U83 and U84) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule which functions in the modification of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.snoRNA SNORD83 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.^[1] snoRNA SNORD83 are spliced from introns 5 and 4 of the BAT1 gene in mammals.^{[2] [3]}
