Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular distribution of mitochondria. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human CLUH (clustered mitochondria homolog).
WB Description
clu-1 encodes an ortholog of CLU1/TIF31 in S. cerevisiae, which directs proper cytoplasmic distribution of mitochondria and physically interacts with eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3); worm CLU-1 may be required for the proper distribution of mitochondria.
