Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; RNA helicase activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Is an ortholog of human DDX27 (DEAD-box helicase 27).
Expressed in body wall musculature; germ line; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Phosducin, thioredoxin-like domain; Phosducin, N-terminal domain superfamily; Phosducin; and Thioredoxin-like superfamily. Is an ortholog of human PDC (phosducin) and PDCL (phosducin like).
Involved in negative regulation of turning behavior involved in mating. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Expressed in PVM; head; nerve ring; and tail.
