Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in rRNA processing; ribosomal small subunit biogenesis; and tRNA export from nucleus. Predicted to be located in condensed nuclear chromosome and nucleolus. Predicted to be part of CURI complex; UTP-C complex; and small-subunit processome. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval midgut primordium; female germline cell; foregut primordium; gut section; and larval muscle cell. Orthologous to human NOL6 (nucleolar protein 6).
