MCPIP1 regulates number of processes directly. MCPIP1 physically interacts with stem-loop structures in the 3′ UTR of transcripts and participates in their degradation. Destabilization of mRNA upon endonucleolytic cleavage by MCPIP1 leads to diminished protein translation and influences on inflammation, adipogenesis, proliferation and apoptosis. MCPIP1 degrades also miRNA by cleaving the terminal loops of precursor miRNAs and influences gene expression
