Summary
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulatory ncRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. Predicted to be active in P granule and cytosol. Is expressed in adult head. Orthologous to human HELZ (helicase with zinc finger). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
