Enables mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity. Involved in several processes, including meiotic nuclear membrane disassembly; oocyte development; and regulation of reproductive process. Located in P granule and centrosome. Expressed in several structures, including germ line; head muscle; intestine; oocyte; and somatic nervous system. Is an ortholog of human ZFP36L1 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 1) and ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of gene expression. Expressed in coelomocyte; gonad; intestine; neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Is an ortholog of human ZFP36L1 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 1) and ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).
