Facts about Gem-associated protein 5.
Most spliceosomal snRNPs have a standard set of Sm proteins SNRPB, SNRPD1, SNRPD2, SNRPD3, SNRPE, SNRPF and SNRPG that assemble in a heptameric protein ring on the Sm site of the small nuclear RNA to form the core snRNP. In the cytosol, the Sm proteins SNRPD1, SNRPD2, SNRPE, SNRPF and SNRPG are trapped in an inactive 6S pICln-Sm complicated by the chaperone CLNS1A that controls the assembly of the core snRNP (PubMed:18984161).

Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus, gem. Cytoplasm. Found both in the nucleoplasm and in nuclear bodies called gems (Gemini of Cajal bodies) that are often in proximity to Cajal (coiled) bodies. Also found in the cytoplasm.
