Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to be involved in ribosomal small subunit biogenesis and ribosomal small subunit export from nucleus. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of preribosome, small subunit precursor. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus; limb digit; nose; oocyte; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inflammatory poikiloderma with hair abnormalities and acral keratoses. Orthologous to human LTV1 (LTV1 ribosome biogenesis factor).
