Predicted to enable helicase activity and mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of stress granule assembly; positive regulation of type I interferon production; and stress granule assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic stress granule. Predicted to be part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human G3BP1 (G3BP stress granule assembly factor 1).
