F38C2.7 encodes a CCCH tandem zinc finger (TZF) protein; based upon its sequence similarity to other TZF proteins, such as MEX-5 and POS-1, the product of F38C2.7 is predicted to function as an RNA-binding protein.
Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer. Is an ortholog of human ZFP36 (ZFP36 ring finger protein); ZFP36L1 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 1); and ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).
