Gene information for DICER1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23405
Official gene symbolDICER1
Full namedicer 1, ribonuclease type III
Aliases,DCR1,Dicer,HERNA,KIAA0928,
Gene summaryThis 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
