Gene information
Is an ortholog of human MEX3B (mex-3 RNA binding family member B). Exhibits single-stranded RNA binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including cell fate specification\; embryonic pattern specification\; and regulation of gene expression. Localizes to the P granule. Is expressed in the embryonic cell.
