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.[2] Other HDV-like ribozymes have been identified and confirmed to be active in vitro in a number of eukaryotes.[3]
