Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables oxidoreductase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; negative regulation of cellular response to oxidative stress; and negative regulation of peptidyl-cysteine S-nitrosylation. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar hyplasia/atrophy, epilepsy, and global developmental delay. Orthologous to human OXR1 (oxidation resistance 1).
