Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GTPase binding activity; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Involved in alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome and neuron projection development. Acts upstream of or within regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasmic stress granule; neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule; and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal cortex; alimentary system; brain; eye; and skin. Used to study Renpenning syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Renpenning syndrome. Orthologous to human PQBP1 (polyglutamine binding protein 1).
