Enables poly-purine tract binding activity and pre-mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cerebral cortex regionalization; embryonic brain development; and regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nuclear inner membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; extraembryonic ectoderm; olfactory epithelium; retina; and thymus. Orthologous to human TRA2B (transformer 2 beta homolog).
