Predicted to enable damaged DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; negative regulation of double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; and spindle organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair. Predicted to be located in site of DNA damage. Predicted to be active in centrosome and spindle pole. Is expressed in liver lobe; midbrain ventricular layer; olfactory cortex ventricular layer; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Orthologous to human AUNIP (aurora kinase A and ninein interacting protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
