In molecular biology, SNORA76 (also known as ACA62) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) which modifies other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). It is a member of the H/ACA class of small nucleolar RNA that guide the sites of modification of uridines to pseudouridines.[1]

This snoRNA was identified by computational screening and its expression in mouse experimentally verified by Northern blot and primer extension analysis.[2] ACA62 is proposed to guide the pseudouridylation of 18S rRNA U34 and U105.[2][3]
