Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator and tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of late endosome membrane; cytoplasmic side of lysosomal membrane; and nucleus. Is expressed in embryo; otic pit; and otocyst. Orthologous to human CDIP1 (cell death inducing p53 target 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
