Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables RNA uridylyltransferase activity and miRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including RNA metabolic process; interleukin-6-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of interleukin-6 production. Acts upstream of or within regulation of lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in 1-cell stage embryo; 2-cell stage embryo; primary oocyte; and secondary oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in liver benign neoplasm. Orthologous to human TUT4 (terminal uridylyl transferase 4).
