2-5A-dependent ribonuclease is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNASEL gene.[1]

This gene encodes a component of the interferon-regulated 2-5A system that functions in the antiviral and antiproliferative roles of interferons.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with predisposition to prostate cancer and this gene is a candidate for the hereditary prostate cancer 1 (HPC1) allele.[2] In 2002, the “hereditary prostate cancer 1” locus (HPC1) was mapped to the RNase L gene, implicating it in the development of prostate cancer.[3]
