| small nuclear RNA |
an abundant class of eukaryotic RNA found in the nucleus, usually less than 300 nucleotides long but excluding ribosomal or transfer RNA of this size; most occur as ribonucleoproteins and they appear to play a role in processing of heterogeneous nuclear RNA.

| small nuclear RNA |
(snRNA) Short RNA transcripts of 100-300 bp that associate with proteins to form small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) (qv); most snRNAs are components of the spliceosomes (qv) that excise introns from pre-mRNAs in RNA processing. See RNA.

They have roles in RNA processing but are not directly involved in protein synthesis.
