Dcp1a Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables kinesin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in deadenylation-dependent decapping of nuclear-transcribed mRNA; deadenylation-independent decapping of nuclear-transcribed mRNA; and protein localization to cytoplasmic stress granule. Located in dendrite. Orthologous to human DCP1A (decapping mRNA 1A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Dcp1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
