Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within RNA modification; embryo implantation; and mRNA localization resulting in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; gonad; olfactory epithelium; and trigeminal ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gout. Orthologous to human A1CF (APOBEC1 complementation factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
