Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; mRNA binding activity; and splicing factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in spliceosomal complex assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; blastocyst formation; and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and myelodysplastic syndrome. Orthologous to human SF3B1 (splicing factor 3b subunit 1).
