ID: SO_0000403
Class
U14 small nucleolar RNA (U14 snoRNA) is required for early cleavages of eukaryotic precursor rRNAs. In yeasts, this molecule possess a stem-loop region (known as the Y-domain) which is essential for function. A similar structure, but with a different consensus sequence, is found in plants, but is absent in vertebrates.
An evolutionarily conserved eukaryotic low molecular weight RNA capable of intermolecular hybridization with both homologous and heterologous 18S rRNA.
