Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of translation. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including gonad. Is an ortholog of human RBMS1 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 1); RBMS2 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 2); and RBMS3 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 3).
Is affected by several genes including daf-12; rrf-3; and pgl-1 based on tiling array and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by Tunicamycin and sodium arsenite based on RNA-seq studies.
Predicted to enable outward rectifier potassium channel activity and potassium ion leak channel activity. Involved in regulation of muscle contraction. Located in muscle cell projection membrane and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in body wall musculature; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Birk-Barel syndrome and primary pulmonary hypertension. Is an ortholog of human KCNK3 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 3) and KCNK9 (potassium two pore domain channel subfamily K member 9).
Enables pre-mRNA intronic binding activity and single-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Located in nuclear speck. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is an ortholog of human RBM24 (RNA binding motif protein 24) and RBM38 (RNA binding motif protein 38).
