SNORD24: A Potential Drug Target and Biomarker for Small Nucleolar RNA

Introduction

Small nucleolar RNA (snRNA) is a non-coding RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. C/D box 24 (SNORD24) is a specific type of snRNA that is expressed in high levels in various tissues and cell types. The discovery of SNORD24 as a potential drug target and biomarker has significant implications for the development of new therapeutics for various diseases.

SNORD24 Functions as a Key Regulator of Chromatin Transcription

SnRNA are involved in the regulation of gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences and affecting the loading of RNA polymerase II (RNA-protein complex) onto the DNA. SNORD24 is a member of the C/D box family of snRNAs, which are known for their ability to interact with specific DNA sequences in the 3'-end of pre-mRNA. The C/D box is a conserved region that is present in the 5'-end of many snRNAs and is involved in the formation of a specific type of base-pairing with DNA.
