Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including endoribonuclease inhibitor activity; ion binding activity; and ribonucleoside triphosphate phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in ribosomal subunit export from nucleus and translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of translation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytosolic ribosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; cranium; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; thymus primordium; and vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease. Orthologous to human ABCE1 (ATP binding cassette subfamily E member 1).
