EDC3 enhancer of mRNA decapping 3

Gene ID: 80153, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: YJDC; LSM16; MRT50; YJEFN2; hYjeF_N2-15q23

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that is important in mRNA degradation. The encoded protein is a component of a decapping complex that promotes efficient removal of the monomethylguanosine (m7G) cap from mRNAs, as part of the 5' to 3' mRNA decay pathway. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human patients with an autosomal recessive form of intellectual disability. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]
