    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the assembly of spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs)
  • GEMIN4 and GEMIN8 orthologues are required for neuromuscular function and survival
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • forming an heteromeric subunit of the SMN complex in association with Gemin6-Gemin7 heterodimer
  • integral component of the SMN complex and extend the repertoire of cellular proteins involved in the pathway of snRNP biogenesis
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • SMN complex and its component GEMIN8 interact directly with protein phosphatase PPP1CC
