mRNA-decapping enzyme 1A

UniProtKB accession:  Q9NPI6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Necessary for the degradation of mRNAs, both in normal mRNA turnover and in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (PubMed:12417715). Removes the 7-methyl guanine cap structure from mRNA molecules, yielding a 5'-phosphorylated mRNA fragment and 7m-GDP (PubMed:12417715). Contributes to the transactivation of target genes after stimulation by TGFB1 (PubMed:11836524). Essential for embryonic development (PubMed:33813271).
