Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; nematode larval development; and response to UV. Located in P granule; cytoplasmic stress granule; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; hypodermis; mechanosensory neurons; somatic cell; and tail. Is an ortholog of human TIA1 (TIA1 cytotoxic granule associated RNA binding protein) and TIAL1 (TIA1 cytotoxic granule associated RNA binding protein like 1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
