Predicted to enable RNA binding activity and protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular protein modification process; mesodermal cell fate specification; and positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiootorenal syndrome and branchiootorenal syndrome 1. Orthologous to human EYA1 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 1).
