Predicted to enable nuclease activity and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA splicing, via endonucleolytic cleavage and ligation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA processing and tRNA processing. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pontocerebellar hypoplasia. Orthologous to human TSEN15 (tRNA splicing endonuclease subunit 15). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
