Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleic acid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of box H/ACA snoRNP complex; box H/ACA telomerase RNP complex; and cytosolic large ribosomal subunit. Is expressed in axial musculature; orbito-sphenoid; and pancreas mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 2. Orthologous to human NHP2 (NHP2 ribonucleoprotein).
