About DGCR8

Cytogenetic location: 22q11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:20,080,241-20,111,872 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 207 orthologues and is associated with 63 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 13.8), placenta (RPKM 10.2) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a subunit of the microprocessor complex which mediates the biogenesis of MicroRNAs from the primary MicroRNA transcript. The encoded protein is a double-stranded RNA binding protein that functions as the non-catalytic subunit of the microprocessor complex. This protein is required for binding the double-stranded RNA substrate and facilitates cleavage of the RNA by the ribonuclease III protein, Drosha. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
