| 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 |
