Drosha Antibody

Drosha is one of three human RNase III enzymes (Drosha, Dicer, and Argonaute) that play a diverse role in the processing and maturation of RNA. Drosha, along with DGCR8 (DeGeorge Syndrome Chromomsomal Region 8, also known as Pasha in C. elegans and D. melanogaster) is a component of the Microprocessor complex. In this complex, Drosha functions as a double-stranded endoribonuclease critical to the first step in the processing of human microRNAs. During this step, Drosha is responsible for cleaving pri-miRNA to yield hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA for futher processing by the cytoplasmic RNase III enzyme, Dicer.

Alternative names for Drosha Antibody include Ribonuclease 3 antibody, RNaseIII antibody, p241 antibody, RNASEN antibody, RN3 antibody.
