The mammalian CPEB3 ribozyme is a self cleaving non-coding RNA located in the second intron of the CPEB3 gene which belongs to a family of genes regulating messenger RNA polyadenylation.[1] This ribozyme is highly conserved and found only in mammals [1]. The CPEB3 ribozyme is structurally and biochemically related to the human hepatitis delta virus ribozyme.
