Predicted to enable snoRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in chromosome and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. Orthologous to human UTP6 (UTP6 small subunit processome component). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
