snoRNA U67 is a non-coding RNA molecule that belongs to the H/ACA class of snoRNAs which are thought to guide the sites of modification of uridines to pseudouridines.[1] This snoRNA guides pseudouridylation of position U1445 in 18S rRNA.[2] This RNA is expressed from the intron of the host gene EIF4A1.
