    Summary
    Enables identical protein binding activity and pre-mRNA binding activity. Involved in female sex determination; mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Part of precatalytic spliceosome. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic epipharynx; germline cell; gonad; and larval labral sensory complex. Orthologous to several human genes including TRA2B (transformer 2 beta homolog). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
