NASC ID: N6954

Name: Dicer-like 4

ABRC stock number: CS6954

Description: DCL4 is a component of the SGS3/RDR6 pathway and acts downstream of RDR6. dcl4-2 affects a glutamic acid that is completely conserved in Dicers from Arabidopsis (At), Homo sapiens (Hs), C. elegans (Ce), Drosophila melanogaster (Dm), and S. pombe (Sp). dcl4-2 interferes with the biogenesis of siR1511 and siR255 but does not affect miR173.
