Gene: CTU2

Alternate names for this Gene: C16orf84|MFRG|NCS2|UPF0432

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16q24.3

Description of this Gene: cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
