Slx9 - family with sequence similarity 207, member A

Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be part of 90S preribosome and preribosome, small subunit precursor. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLX9 (SLX9 ribosome biogenesis factor).
