What is another word for Small Nuclear RNA?
Pronunciation: [smˈɔːl njˈuːkli͡əɹ ˌɑːɹˌɛnˈe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
Small Nuclear RNA or snRNA is an essential component of the RNA family, along with messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Synonyms for snRNA include tRNA-like molecules, small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), and uridylates. These molecules play a crucial role in RNA splicing and regulating gene expression. Small nuclear RNA molecules are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and are involved in the splicing of pre-mRNA. They are usually smaller than 300 nucleotides and work in association with protein complexes to form the snRNPs. The study of snRNA and its functions are essential in understanding cell biology and genetics.
