Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; RNA binding activity; and RNA helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; cell population proliferation; and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-beta; defense response to virus; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus. Predicted to be part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Orthologous to human DDX41 (DEAD-box helicase 41).
