Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Lsm2-8 complex; U2-type precatalytic spliceosome; and spliceosomal snRNP complex. Is expressed in caudal ganglionic eminence and medial ganglionic eminence. Orthologous to human LSM8 (LSM8 homolog, U6 small nuclear RNA associated).
