Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and U3 snoRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in endonucleolytic cleavage of tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA). Predicted to be located in chromosome; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of 90S preribosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nonsyndromic aplasia cutis congenita. Orthologous to human BMS1 (BMS1 ribosome biogenesis factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
