Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in RNA catabolic process and RNA processing. Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of nuclear exosome (RNase complex). Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; early conceptus; gonad; liver; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1F. Orthologous to human EXOSC1 (exosome component 1).
