Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and innate immune response. Predicted to be located in peroxisomal membrane. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in D-bifunctional protein deficiency; Perrault syndrome; and Stiff-Person syndrome. Is an ortholog of human HSD17B4 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4).
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).
