Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables RNA binding activity; RNA nuclease activity; and ribosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus and rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex intermediate zone; cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and cortical plate. Used to study primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis B. Orthologous to human ZC3H12A (zinc finger CCCH-type containing 12A).
