Is an ortholog of human BRIP1 (BRCA1 interacting protein C-terminal helicase 1). Is predicted to have ATP-dependent DNA helicase activity. Is involved in DNA metabolic process\; regulation of DNA-dependent DNA replication\; and reproduction. Is expressed in the head and the tail. Is used to study Fanconi anemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in Fanconi anemia complementation group J\; breast cancer\; and esophageal atresia\/tracheoesophageal fistula.
