Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan. Located in nucleus. Expressed in body wall musculature; cloacal sphincter muscle; copulatory spicule; non-striated muscle; and somatic gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 97. Is an ortholog of human CELF1 (CUGBP Elav-like family member 1).
Involved in dosage compensation by hypoactivation of X chromosome; intergenic mRNA trans splicing; and male sex determination. Predicted to be located in nucleus.
