May play a role in the development or function of the peripheral nervous system by regulating the processing of nervous system-specific transcripts. Expressed in neural precursors and their daughter cells in the embryonic peripheral nervous system. Less abundant in a number of glial cells in the peripheral and central nervous systems and also present at low levels in the developing gut. Mutations cause hypoactive behavior in adults. Stop codon readthrough. Wrong choice of frame. Unusual initiator. The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTC leucine codon. Truncated N-terminus. Unusual initiator. The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTC leucine codon. Stop codon readthrough. Unusual initiator. The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTC leucine codon. Unusual initiator. The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTC leucine codon. Unusual initiator. The initiator methionine is coded by a non-canonical CTC leucine codon.
