Summary: Predicted to enable A2A adenosine receptor binding activity; RNA binding activity; and RNA endonuclease activity. Predicted to contribute to sequence-specific DNA binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in siRNA processing. Located in cytoplasm.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
