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