Gem-associated protein 7 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the GEMIN7gene.[5][6] The gem-associated proteins are those found in the
gems of Cajal bodies.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the core SMN complex, which is required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus. The encoded protein is found in the nucleoplasm, in nuclear "gems" (Gemini of
Cajal bodies), and in the cytoplasm. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[6]
