Small Nuclear RNA Definition

Small nuclear RNA. A class of abundant small nuclear RNAs involved in RNA processing (splicing, 3' end maturation). These snRNAs associate with specific proteins to form the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNP) directly involved in RNA processing. Seven known snRNAs have been termed U1 through U7 snRNA.
