Predicted to enable U3 snoRNA binding activity and rRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); protein destabilization; and protein localization to nucleolus. Predicted to be part of small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Orthologous to human UTP25 (UTP25 small subunit processor component).
