Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of ASAP complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human RNPS1 (RNA binding protein with serine rich domain 1).
WB Description
rnp-5 encodes a putative member of the exon-exon junction complex, orthologous to human RNPS1 (OMIM:606447); RNP-5 is dispensable for embryonic viability.
