{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nAlthough the query requested a summary of SNORD20 function, none of the provided abstracts address SNORD20. Instead, these studies focus on FKBP8 (also known as FKBP38), a multifunctional immunophilin that plays diverse roles in development and cellular homeostasis. Several studies describe its critical function as an antagonist of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling during neural development, where loss or disruption of FKBP8 results in ectopic or hyperactivated Shh pathway activity, altered ventral cell fates, and neural tube closure defects such as spina bifida. In addition, FKBP8 is implicated in regulating neural patterning and promoting proper neurite extension by modulating apoptosis and membrane trafficking in the developing central nervous system."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "5"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOther abstracts reveal that FKBP8 plays essential roles in cellular quality control and organellar homeostasis.

Moreover, FKBP8 is involved in regulating the stability of key proteins such as prolyl-4-hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2) via ubiquitin-independent proteasomal pathways, thereby modulating cellular responses to oxygen levels.
