Summary

This gene encodes a member of the pancreatic-type of secretory ribonucleases, a subset of the ribonuclease A superfamily. The encoded endonuclease cleaves internal phosphodiester RNA bonds on the 3'-side of pyrimidine bases. It prefers poly(C) as a substrate and hydrolyzes 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides, with a pH optimum near 8.0. The encoded protein is monomeric and more commonly acts to degrade ds-RNA over ss-RNA. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the RNASE1 was associated with the inhibited autophagy pathway in the brain and lungs in sepsis [Pinheiro da Silva et al. DOI:10.1111/jcmm.17938]. A study in mice demonstrated that the RNASE1 was upregulated in common in white blood cells at day 1 post-injury following both burn and trauma-hemorrhage, where it was identified as a gene expression marker associated with the cell death pathway [Lederer et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00086.2007].
