DBR1

Lariat debranching enzyme is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DBR1 gene. The RNA lariat debranching enzyme, or DBR1, specifically hydrolyzes 2-prime-to-5-prime branched phosphodiester bonds at the branch point of excised lariat intron RNA and converts them into linear molecules.[supplied by OMIM]
