Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 5'-(N(7)-methyl 5'-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] diphosphatase activity; RNA 7-methylguanosine cap binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in deadenylation-dependent decapping of nuclear-transcribed mRNA and mRNA cis splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DCPS (decapping enzyme, scavenger).
