background:
Pre-mRNA splicing occurs in 2 sequential transesterification steps. The protein encoded by this gene is found to be essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. It is found in the spliceosome, and contains seven WD repeats, which function in protein-protein interactions. This protein has a sequence similarity to the yeast splicing factor Prp18.

Function:
Participates in the second step of pre-mRNA splicing.
Subunit:
Heterodimer with PPIH. Interacts with PRPF4 and with the spliceosome. Part of a complex containing U4/U6 snRNPs.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus speckle. Colocalizes with spliceosomal snRNPs.
Similarity:
Belongs to the PRP18 family.
