In
small nucleolar RNA
(snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.
snoRNA U87 belongs to the
C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs.[1][2]
U87 was identified by purification from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)[3] and is the orthologue of mouse MBII-276[4]
