| Gene Symbol | DCPS |
| Full Name | Decapping Enzyme |
| Aliases | Page for DCPS |
| Chromosome | 11q23.2 |
| Function | The enzyme removes the 5' cap structure (typically a 7-methylguanosine (m7G) cap) from RNA molecules, rendering them susceptible to further degradation by 5'-3' exonucleases such as XRN1 [18]. |
| Molecular Weight | 38 kDa |
| Amino Acids | 645 aa |
| UniProt ID | [Q9Y5B9](https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9Y5B9) |
| Ensembl ID | ENSG00000174844 |
| OMIM | 614206 |
| GeneCards | DCPS |
| Human Protein Atlas | DCPS |
| Circadian Rhythm Regulation | Recent research has implicated DCPS in the regulation of circadian clock gene expression, suggesting broader roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation beyond basic RNA decay [30]. |
| Associated Diseases | ALS, Alzheimer's disease |
| Databases | GeneCardsNCBI GeneHPASTRING |
