Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; RNA binding activity; and ribonuclease III activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression; regulation of defense response; and response to virus. Located in nucleus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of RISC complex and RISC-loading complex. Is expressed in adult head.
FB Description
Dicer-2 (Dcr-2) encodes a member of the RNase III family of double-stranded RNA-specific endonucleases. It acts in the RNAi pathway by cutting long dsRNA into siRNAs. It helps defend flies against viral infection, particularly RNA viruses. It also processes long, partially double-stranded endogenous transcripts (hairpin RNAs) into endo-siRNAs.
