Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein heterodimerization activity and rRNA (guanine) methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of rRNA processing and rRNA (guanine-N7)-methylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin organization; methylation; and rRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Williams-Beuren syndrome. Orthologous to human BUD23 (BUD23 rRNA methyltransferase and ribosome maturation factor).
