Predicted to enable double-stranded RNA binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Part of catalytic step 2 spliceosome and precatalytic spliceosome. Is expressed in several structures, including cuboidal/columnar epithelium; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; head epidermis primordium; and sensory nervous system primordium. Orthologous to several human genes including ZFR (zinc finger RNA binding protein).
FB Description
Zinc-finger protein at 72D (Zn72D) encodes a protein involved in the splicing of the mle transcript.
