Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is the name used to refer to a number of small RNA molecules found in the nucleus. These RNA molecules are important in a number of processes including RNA splicing (removal of the introns from hnRNA [heterogeneous nuclear RNA]) and maintenance of the telomeres, or chromosome ends. They are always found associated with specific proteins and the complexes are referred to as small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNP) or sometimes as snurps. 3, record 1, English, - small%20nuclear%20RNA

Today it is known that five small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) and approximately 50 different proteins make up the splicing machinery. 4, record 1, English, - small%20nuclear%20RNA
