Protein found in humans
mRNA-decapping enzyme 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "DCP2" gene.
DCP2 is a key component of an mRNA-decapping complex required for removal of the 5-prime cap from mRNA prior to its degradation from the 5-prime end (Fenger-Gron et al., 2005).[supplied by OMIM]
Interactions.
DCP2 has been shown to interact with DCP1A and UPF1.
