Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase. During immune response, may enhance IFNB1 expression via IRF3/IRF7 pathway (By similarity).
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Nucleus
Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in an XPO1-dependent manner.
Widely expressed at the mRNA level, with highest levels in testis . Testis-specific (at protein level). Expressed predominantly in spermatogonia, but occasionally detected in some pre-leptotene/leptotene spermatocytes .
