Ribosomal RNA Processing 7 Homolog A (RRP7A)

Rrp7a, located on mouse chromosome 15. Rrp7a is a hypothetical RNA-binding protein because it contains an RNA binding domain consensus sequence. No publications for Rrp7a were identified; however, the Gene Ontology database identified 4,104 protein products classified as RNA binding across multiple species and 148 specific to mouse. A two-way BLASTN revealed that Rrp7A is not transcribed antisense to HL and therefore is unlikely to convey regulatory properties. It was possible that the primers amplified both endogenous Rrp7a and the intronic gene; similar expression levels in four genotypes of mice and no effect of transgene mediated expression differences.
