[6][7] snRNP70 is a small nuclear ribonucleoprotein that associates with U1 spliceosomal RNA, forming the U1snRNP a core component of the spliceosome.

The U1-70K protein and other components of the spliceosome complex form detergent-insoluble aggregates in both sporadic and familial human cases of Alzheimer's disease.

[8][9] U1-70K co-localizes with Tau in neurofibrillary tangles in Alzheimer's disease.
