LOC108348175 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; internal N(7)-methylguanine-containing RNA reader activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including mRNA stabilization; negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process; and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic stress granule; cytosol; and synapse. Orthologous to human QKI (QKI, KH domain containing RNA binding).
