    Summary
    Enables primary miRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of stem cell proliferation. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; early embryo; facial prominence; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence. Orthologous to human DGCR8 (DGCR8 microprocessor complex subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
