Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable GTPase activity and ribosome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in GTP metabolic process and cytosolic ribosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within ribosome biogenesis and translational elongation. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in head and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Orthologous to human EFL1 (elongation factor like GTPase 1).
