Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay factor SMG9

UniProtKB accession:  Q9H0W8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons (PubMed:19417104). Is recruited by release factors to stalled ribosomes together with SMG1 and SMG8 (forming the SMG1C protein kinase complex) and, in the SMG1C complex, is required for the efficient association between SMG1 and SMG8 (PubMed:19417104). Plays a role in brain, heart, and eye development (By similarity).
