Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables poly(A) binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; negative regulation of mRNA metabolic process; and regulation of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Located in cytoplasm. Part of histone pre-mRNA 3'end processing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SYNCRIP (synaptotagmin binding cytoplasmic RNA interacting protein).
