Gene: DCP1B

Alternate names for this Gene: DCP1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that function in removing the 5' cap from mRNAs, which is a step in regulated mRNA decay. This protein localizes to cytoplasmic foci which are the site of mRNA breakdown and turnover. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p13.33

Description of this Gene: decapping mRNA 1B

Type of Gene: protein-coding
