Predicted to enable translation activator activity. Predicted to be involved in nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay and regulation of translational initiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of translation. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in central nervous system; ganglia; and neural retina. Orthologous to human CTIF (cap binding complex dependent translation initiation factor).
