U6 snRNA-associated Sm-like protein LSm6 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the LSM6gene.[5][6][7]
Sm-like proteins were identified in a variety of organisms based on sequence
homology with the Sm protein family (see
SNRPD2; MIM 601061). Sm-like proteins contain the Sm sequence motif, which consists of 2 regions separated by a linker of variable length that folds as a loop.
The Sm-like proteins are thought to form a stable
heteromer present in
tri-snRNP particles, which are important for
pre-mRNA splicing.[supplied by OMIM][7]
