Predicted to enable NF-kappaB binding activity; double-stranded RNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; nucleolus; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; limb primordium; nose; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human MTDH (metadherin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
