Predicted to enable UFM1 ligase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; neuron projection; and site of double-strand break. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human UFL1 (UFM1 specific ligase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
