Gene data
DCP1B- Name
- decapping mRNA 1B
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- DCP1
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. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016].

mRNA-decapping enzyme 1B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCP1B gene.
DCP1B is a core component of the mRNA decapping complex, a key factor in the regulation of mRNA decay (Lykke-Andersen, 2002).[supplied by OMIM]
