Predicted to enable DNA helicase activity; RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA unwinding involved in DNA replication; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and negative regulation of transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to camptothecin; negative regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II, holoenzyme. Predicted to be active in chromosome and cytoplasm. Orthologous to human RECQL5 (RecQ like helicase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
