Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Part of polysome. Expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; excretory canal; neurons; ventral nerve cord; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Williams-Beuren syndrome. Is an ortholog of human EIF4H (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4H).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
