Predicted to enable 5'-3' exoribonuclease activity; G-quadruplex DNA binding activity; and G-quadruplex RNA binding activity. Involved in cellular response to organonitrogen compound; negative regulation of translation; and response to testosterone. Located in several cellular components, including P-body; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human XRN1 (5'-3' exoribonuclease 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
