What is the function of isoproponal in RNA isolation?

Isopropanol precipitates the RNA. Up to that point it's generally in solution. Centrifuging the tube after this step should leave a very faint but generally visible white smudge/pellet of RNA. The ethanol steps that follow the isopropanol precipitation are simple washes.
