Rcl1 - RNA terminal phosphate cyclase-like 1

Predicted to enable endoribonuclease activity. Acts upstream of or within endonucleolytic cleavage in 5'-ETS of tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and endonucleolytic cleavage in ITS1 to separate SSU-rRNA from 5.8S rRNA and LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; axial musculature; cerebral cortex; liver lobe; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human RCL1 (RNA terminal phosphate cyclase like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
