Summary: Enables RNA endonuclease activity and primary miRNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including RNA metabolic process; regulation of miRNA metabolic process; and regulation of regulatory T cell differentiation. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and tooth. Orthologous to human DROSHA (drosha ribonuclease III).

Study in mouse lines with either a targeted deletion of Drosha or an inducible expression of human DROSHA carrying a Wilms tumor (WT)-specific E1147K mutation that acts in a dominant negative manner underscores the importance of a viable self-renewing progenitor pool for kidney development, but there was no evidence of WT formation through impaired DROSHA function.

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.
