Summary

Name SMG5
Full Name Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor SMG5
Synonyms EST1-like protein B, LPTS-RP1, LPTS-interacting protein, SMG-5 homolog, hSMG-5 | EST1B, KIAA1089
Primary ID Q9UPR3

Type protein
Relations 2
Function Plays a role in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Does not have RNase activity by itself. Promotes dephosphorylation of UPF1. Together with SMG7 is thought to provide a link to the mRNA degradation machinery involving exonucleolytic pathways, and to serve as an adapter for UPF1 to protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby triggering UPF1 dephosphorylation. Necessary for TERT activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17053788}.
