Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease PARN also known as polyadenylate-specific ribonuclease or as deadenylating nuclease is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PARN gene.[1][2]

[edit] Function

Exonucleolytic degradation of the poly(A) tail is often the first step in the decay of eukaryotic mRNAs. The amino acid sequence of poly(A)-specific ribonuclease shows homology to the RNase D family of 3'-exonucleases. The protein appears to be localized in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. It is not stably associated with polysomes or ribosomal subunits.[2]
