Predicted to enable poly(G) binding activity and poly(U) RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in P-body assembly and deadenylation-dependent decapping of nuclear-transcribed mRNA. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule and cytosol. Predicted to be active in P-body. Orthologous to human PATL1 (PAT1 homolog 1, processing body mRNA decay factor).
