Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable 5S rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); protein localization to nucleolus; and regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to act upstream of or within ribosome biogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and cortical plate. Orthologous to human RPF2 (ribosome production factor 2 homolog).
