This gene encodes a member of the family of box ACA small nucleolar RNAs, characterized by a consensus ACA motif positioned 3 nucleotides from the 3' end of the RNAs and a double-hairpin structure. The box ACA small nucleolar RNAs may play a role in rRNA maturation. This gene is co-transcribed with the ribosomal protein L39 gene.
