Everything about Microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
The microprocessor complex subunit DGCR8 (DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DGCR8 gene. In other animals, particularly the common model organisms Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans, the protein is known as Pasha. It is a required component of the RNA interference pathway. Wikipedia →
