Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables RNA endonuclease activity and primary miRNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ncRNA metabolic process; regulation of miRNA metabolic process; and regulation of regulatory T cell differentiation. Located in postsynaptic density. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and tooth. Orthologous to human DROSHA (drosha ribonuclease III).
