Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; catalytic activity, acting on RNA; and nuclear receptor coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and regulatory ncRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in P granule and cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; respiratory system; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human HELZ2 (helicase with zinc finger 2).
