products description :
Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in 2 sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of both U2- and U12-dependent spliceosomes, and found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It contains several WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to yeast Prp8 protein. This gene is a candidate gene for autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa. [NCBI Entrez Gene Summary]

uniprot summary :
PRPF8: Central component of the spliceosome, which may play a role in aligning the pre-mRNA 5 - and 3 -exons for ligation. Interacts with U5 snRNA, and with pre-mRNA 5 -splice sites in B spliceosomes and 3 -splice sites in C spliceosomes. Defects in PRPF8 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 13 (RP13). RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. RP13 inheritance is autosomal dominant. Protein type: Spliceosome; RNA splicing; RNA-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17p13.3. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; membrane; snRNP U5; nuclear speck; nucleus. Molecular Function: U5 snRNA binding; protein binding; U6 snRNA binding. Biological Process: RNA splicing, via transesterification reactions; nuclear mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; assembly of spliceosomal tri-snRNP; RNA splicing; gene expression; mRNA processing. Disease: Retinitis Pigmentosa 13
