Enables histone pre-mRNA stem-loop binding activity and mRNA binding activity. Involved in mRNA 3'-end processing by stem-loop binding activity and cleavage. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of histone pre-mRNA 3'end processing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and pancreas. Orthologous to human SLBP (stem-loop histone mRNA binding protein).
