Summary: Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity. Involved in several processes, including apposition of dorsal and ventral imaginal disc-derived wing surfaces; nervous system development; and oenocyte development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; germline cell; glial cell; imaginal disc; and muscle cell. Orthologous to human QKI (QKI, KH domain containing RNA binding).
