Also known as FLJ20291
Summary
CWC25 (CWC25 spliceosome associated protein, HGNC:25989) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q12, encoding Pre-mRNA-splicing factor CWC25 homolog (Q9NXE8). Involved in pre-mRNA splicing as component of the spliceosome. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 21.2% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a factor that is part of the multi-protein C complex involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been described for this gene.
