Predicted to enable 3'-5' DNA helicase activity; ATP-dependent DNA/DNA annealing activity; and four-way junction helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA unwinding involved in DNA replication and double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromosome and cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human RECQL (RecQ like helicase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
