In addition, NFAT can bind RNA and is an essential component for encapsidation and protein priming of hepatitis B viral polymerase.

The encoded protein, which is primarily localized to ribosomes, probably regulates transcription at the level of mRNA elongation.

[17] snaR-A is abundant in human testis and has been shown to associate with ribosomes in HeLa cells.

Other snaR RNAs are found in African Great Apes (including chimpanzee and bonobo).
