mRNA-decapping enzyme 1A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DCP1A gene.[1]
Decapping is a key step in general and regulated mRNA decay. The protein encoded by this gene is a decapping enzyme. This protein and another decapping enzyme form a decapping complex, which interacts with the nonsense-mediated decay factor hUpf1 and may be recruited to mRNAs containing premature termination codons. This protein also participates in the TGF-beta signaling pathway.[1]
DCP1A has been shown to interact with DCP2[2] and UPF1.[2]
