May be required for ribosome biogenesis. Interacts with DHX37. Ubiquitously expressed. Citrullinated by PADI4. The human genome also contains the UTP14C gene, an autosomal retrotransposed copy of this X-linked gene. Evolution of autosomal retrogenes from X-linked progenitors compensates for X-chromosome silencing during male meiosis. Belongs to the UTP14 family.
