Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulus; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and cerebral cortex development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Prp19 complex; U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome; and post-mRNA release spliceosomal complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CRNKL1 (crooked neck pre-mRNA splicing factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
