Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; endoplasmic reticulum; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in germ line; gonad; neurons; and somatic cell. Orthologous to several human genes including LSM14B (LSM family member 14B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
