Gem-associated protein 5


Gem-associated protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GEMIN5 gene.

Function

Gem-associated protein 5 is part of the SMN a large protein complex localized to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus that plays a role in the cytoplasmic assembly of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. Other members of this complex include SMN, gem-associated protein 2, GEMIN3, and GEMIN4.

Interactions

GEMIN5 has been shown to interact with DDX20 and SMN1.
