Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in box H/ACA snoRNP assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of rRNA processing and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in midbrain ventricular layer; olfactory epithelium; submandibular gland primordium; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia. Orthologous to human SHQ1 (SHQ1, H/ACA ribonucleoprotein assembly factor).
