果蠅曲頸基因（crn）是胚胎發生的關鍵基因，被認為參與細胞周期的進程和mrna前剪接。由這個人類基因座編碼的蛋白質被發現定位于細胞核中的前mrna剪接復合物，是前mrna剪接所必需的。另外，已經描述了剪接轉錄變體。[由RefSeq提供，2013年7月]
The crooked neck (crn) gene of Drosophila is essential for embryogenesis and is thought to be involved in cell cycle progression and pre-mRNA splicing. A protein encoded by this human locus has been found to localize to pre-mRNA splicing complexes in the nucleus and is necessary for pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
