Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 5'-(N(7)-methylguanosine 5'-triphospho)-[mRNA] hydrolase activity and 5'-3' RNA exonuclease activity. Involved in mRNA catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell junction; cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RISC complex. Predicted to be active in P-body. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human DCP2 (decapping mRNA 2).
