Summary: Enables RNA folding chaperone; molecular adaptor activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA export from nucleus. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome; exon-exon junction complex; and transcription export complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Predicted to colocalize with chromosome, telomeric region. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ALYREF (Aly/REF export factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
