Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in snRNA pseudouridine synthesis; snoRNA guided rRNA pseudouridine synthesis; and telomere maintenance via telomerase. Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of box H/ACA snoRNP complex and box H/ACA telomerase RNP complex. Is expressed in axial musculature; orbito-sphenoid; and pancreas mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 2. Orthologous to human NHP2 (NHP2 ribonucleoprotein).
