Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity; mRNA 5'-UTR binding activity; and translation regulator activity, nucleic acid binding. Involved in negative regulation of translation. Acts upstream of or within cold-induced thermogenesis and energy homeostasis. Predicted to be located in P-body; cytoplasmic stress granule; and cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; early conceptus; gonad; nervous system; and otocyst. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human IGF2BP2 (insulin like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2).
