nomenclature changes

05/29/2017 Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 10813. From UTP14A small subunit processome component to UTP14A, small subunit processome component (added a comma) =summary=- This gene encodes a member of the uridine triphosphate 14 family. As an essential component of a large ribonucleoprotein complex bound to the U3 small nucleolar RNA, the encoded protein is involved in ribosome biogenesis and 18S rRNA synthesis. An autosomal retrotransposed copy of this X-linked gene exists on chromosome 13. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
