Enables RNA binding activity and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; mitotic G2/M transition checkpoint; and response to ionizing radiation. Located in chromosome, telomeric region and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human NABP1 (nucleic acid binding protein 1).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and overtly normal with no detectable changes in thymopoiesis, splenic development, or spermatogenesis despite a reduction in testis weight. [provided by MGI curators]
