Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in pronucleus. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; female reproductive system; sensory organ; and tail unsegmented mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer; and systemic scleroderma. Orthologous to human HNRNPL (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L).
