DBR1 debranching RNA lariats 1

Gene ID: 51163, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: XGIP

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an RNA lariat debranching enzyme that hydrolyzes 2'-5' prime branched phosphodiester bonds. The encoded protein specifically targets the bonds at the branch point of excised lariat intron RNA, converting them to linear molecules that are then degraded. This protein may also be involved in retroviral replication. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
