Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables miRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; nervous system development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm. Part of RISC complex and RISC-loading complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome; dilated cardiomyopathy; and ovarian cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in DICER1 syndrome; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); multinodular goiter; nephroma; and pleuropulmonary blastoma. Orthologous to human DICER1 (dicer 1, ribonuclease III).
