nomenclature changes

05.13.19

Human name has changed for Entrez Gene: 55695. From NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase family member 5 to NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 5

Summary from NCBI, Human NSUN5

This gene encodes a member of an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins that may function as methyltransferases. This gene is located in a larger region of chromosome 7 that is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder. There are two pseudogenes for this gene located in the same region of chromosome 7. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
