Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and left-handed Z-DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of defense response; positive regulation of programmed cell death; and regulation of interleukin-1-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ZBP1 (Z-DNA binding protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
