Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and poly(G) binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including flagellated sperm motility; negative regulation of mitochondrial RNA catabolic process; and spermatid development. Located in several cellular components, including acrosomal vesicle; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and sperm flagellum. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in ovary and seminiferous cord. Orthologous to human SLIRP (SRA stem-loop interacting RNA binding protein).
