Predicted to enable nuclease activity and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleic acid phosphodiester bond hydrolysis and tRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Orthologous to human TSEN15 (tRNA splicing endonuclease subunit 15). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
