Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Dicer dimerisation domain; Dicer dimerisation domain superfamily; Helicase, C-terminal; P-loop containing nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase; and Helicase conserved C-terminal domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
dcr-1. In C. elegans,
dcr-1 is involved in several processes, including nucleic acid metabolic process; olfactory learning; and positive regulation of primary miRNA processing.
