Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to be involved in maturation of 5.8S rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in fibrillar center. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human URB1 (URB1 ribosome biogenesis homolog).
