Is affected by several genes including ptl-1; ptrn-1; and etr-1 based on tiling array and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by Tunicamycin and sodium arsenite based on RNA-seq studies.
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of translation. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including gonad. Is an ortholog of human RBMS1 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 1); RBMS2 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 2); and RBMS3 (RNA binding motif single stranded interacting protein 3).
