The hovlinc ribozyme is a self-cleaving ribozyme found in a very long noncoding RNA (vlincRNA) in hominins like humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas[1]. Hovlinc stands for "hominin vlincRNA-located" ribozyme based on its host gene and taxonomic range. Self-cleavage activity of hovlinc has been proven in humans, chimpanzees and bonobos (genus Pan), but absent in gorillas[1]. The discovery of this ribozyme is significant because only a small number of self-cleaving ribozymes has been reported in humans including Mammalian CPEB3 ribozyme, Hammerhead ribozyme (HH9 and HH10) and a B2 SINE ribozyme[2].
