Description
Predicted to have RNA binding activity and RNA helicase activity. Involved in germ cell development; gonad development; and regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Localizes to P granule. Is expressed in several structures, including blastodisc; germ line cell; reproductive system; shield; and unfertilized egg. Orthologous to human DDX4 (DEAD-box helicase 4).
