Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Involved in DNA damage checkpoint signaling and entrainment of circadian clock. Predicted to be part of replication fork protection complex. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; antennal anlage; ganglia; head epidermis primordium; and synaptic neuropil domain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in advanced sleep phase syndrome and alcohol use disorder. Orthologous to human TIMELESS (timeless circadian regulator).
