Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables nucleic acid binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to arsenic-containing substance; cellular response to hypoxia; and regulation of translation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm; ribosome; and synapse. Part of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human CPEB2 (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2).
