Entrez Summary: This gene is similar to the MAB-21 cell fate-determining gene found in C. elegans. It may be involved in eye and cerebellum development, and it has been proposed that expansion of a trinucleotide repeat region in the 5' UTR may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders.

UniProt Summary: Putative nucleotidyltransferase required for several aspects of embryonic development including normal development of the eye (By similarity). It is unclear whether it displays nucleotidyltransferase activity in vivo (PubMed:27271801). Binds single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) (PubMed:27271801). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O70299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27271801}.
