Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; inositol hexakisphosphate binding activity; and translation initiation factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in poly(A)+ mRNA export from nucleus. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA transport and protein transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule organizing center; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear pore cytoplasmic filaments. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome 1. Orthologous to human GLE1 (GLE1 RNA export mediator).
