Predicted to enable glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in glutamate catabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed in head; intestine; pharynx; rectal gland cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and late onset Parkinson's disease. Is an ortholog of human GLUD1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1).
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II CTD heptapeptide repeat phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); endometrial cancer; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1. Is an ortholog of human MCPH1 (microcephalin 1).
