DNASE1L1: deoxyribonuclease 1 like 1

This gene encodes a member of the deoxyribonuclease family and the protein shows high sequence similarity to lysosomal DNase I. In contrast to the human and mouse orthologs, porcine and bovine mRNAs for this gene use a conserved CUG triplet for translation initiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
