Gene Symbol:
DICER1 Homo sapiens Homo sapiens
Full name:
dicer 1, ribonuclease III
Synonyms:
DCR1, Dicer, Dicer1e, HERNA, K12H4.8-LIKE, MNG1, RMSE2, endoribonuclease Dicer, Dicer1, Dcr-1 homolog, dicer 1, double-stranded RNA-specific endoribonuclease, dicer 1, ribonuclease type III, helicase MOI, helicase with RNAse motif
Genomic Location:
Chr 14: 94622319-94693512
Description:
This gene encodes a protein possessing an RNA helicase motif containing a DEXH box in its amino terminus and an RNA motif in the carboxy terminus. The encoded protein functions as a ribonuclease and is required by the RNA interference and small temporal RNA (stRNA) pathways to produce the active small RNA component that represses gene expression.
