Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to act upstream of or within rRNA processing. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Diamond-Blackfan anemia 14 with mandibulofacial dysostosis. Orthologous to human TSR2 (TSR2 ribosome maturation factor).
