Summary: Predicted to enable box H/ACA snoRNA binding activity; pseudouridine synthase activity; and telomerase RNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to telomerase activity. Acts upstream of or within RNA metabolic process; positive regulation of telomere maintenance via telomerase; and telomerase holoenzyme complex assembly. Located in Cajal body and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; epithelium; genitourinary system; skin; and surface ectoderm. Used to study dyskeratosis congenita.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
