Summary
Enables box C/D RNA binding activity. Involved in Cajal body organization. Located in Cajal body. Used to study motor neuron disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 3; colorectal cancer; head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human WRAP53 (WD repeat containing antisense to TP53). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
