Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in epithelial cell migration; oogenesis; and regulation of translation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cerebellar neuron development; regulation of cell growth; and tissue homeostasis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 12. Orthologous to human NANOS1 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 1).
