Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.2.0)
Enables RNA lariat debranching enzyme activity. Acts upstream of or within mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain disease. Orthologous to human DBR1 (debranching RNA lariats 1).
