This gene encodes a putative peroxisomal protein that appears to be conserved across Euteleostomi. In humans, it may be autoantigenic. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
Predicted to enable CCR4-NOT complex binding activity. Involved in female meiotic nuclear division; oogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within double-strand break repair. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is
expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; oocyte; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MARF1 (meiosis regulator and mRNA stability factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
