  1. Dicer - Wikipedia

    Being part of the RNase III family, Dicer cleaves double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and pre-microRNA (pre-miRNA) into short double-stranded RNA fragments called small interfering …

  2. DICER: structure, function, and regulation - PMC

    DICER is a multidomain endonuclease that belongs to the fourth class of type III ribonuclease (RNase III) enzymes. DICER is encoded by a single gene in vertebrates and C. elegans, …

  3. Dicer - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Dicer is a crucial enzyme involved in the processing of microRNAs (miRNAs), and its absence in limb mesoderm leads to loss of miRNA processing, increased cell death, and inappropriate …

  4. DICER is a multidomain endonuclease that belongs to the fourth class of type III ribonuclease (RNase III) enzymes. DICER is encoded by a single gene in vertebrates and C. elegans, …

  5. Dicer - Laboratory Notes

    Aug 25, 2025 · Dicer is a highly conserved, multidomain enzyme that plays a fundamental role in RNA interference (RNAi) and microRNA (miRNA) processing pathways.

  6. Dicer Definition - General Biology I Key Term | Fiveable

    Dicer is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. It processes double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) or microRNAs (miRNAs), …

  7. DICER | enzyme | Britannica

    …by an enzyme known as DICER. The mature miRNA molecule then binds to an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which contains multiple proteins, including a ribonuclease enzyme.

  8. Molecular mechanisms of Dicer: endonuclease and enzymatic …

    The enzyme Dicer is best known for its role as a riboendonuclease in the small RNA pathway. In this canonical role, Dicer is a critical regulator of the biogenesis of microRNA and small …

  9. Dicer structure and function: conserved and evolving features

    Jul 5, 2023 · Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for RNAi are produced by Dicer from long double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a pool of different small RNAs. In contrast, miRNAs have specific …

  10. A Glimpse of “Dicer Biology” Through the Structural and …

    Dicer, an RNase III enzyme, initiates the RNAi pathway, plays a pivotal role in fighting infection against pathogens, and acts as a housekeeping enzyme for cellular homeostasis. Here, we …
