rsp-7 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the vertebrate p54 splicing factor and member of the SR protein family of nuclear phosphoproteins that are required for constitutive splicing and influence alternative splicing regulation.
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder and myelodysplastic syndrome. Is an ortholog of human SREK1 (splicing regulatory glutamic acid and lysine rich protein 1).
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.
