Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including limb segment; lung; nervous system; skeletal musculature; and submandibular gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type 2C. Orthologous to human HSPB3 (heat shock protein family B (small) member 3).
