Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of several cellular components, including Lsm1-7-Pat1 complex; Lsm2-8 complex; and spliceosomal snRNP complex. Is expressed in esophagus; midbrain ventricular layer; renal cortex; telencephalon ventricular layer; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human LSM5 (LSM5 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA and mRNA degradation associated).
