Dgcr8 - DGCR8, microprocessor complex subunit

Enables primary miRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of stem cell proliferation. Located in postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; cardiovascular system; facial prominence; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human DGCR8 (DGCR8 microprocessor complex subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
