Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; RNA helicase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA export from nucleus and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to colocalize with cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human DDX39A (DExD-box helicase 39A).
