Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables ATP hydrolysis activity; nucleic acid binding activity; and ribosome binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; neuromuscular process; and spinal cord motor neuron differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including growth cone; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and nervous system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2S and autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2S and autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 1. Orthologous to human IGHMBP2 (immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2).
