Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Helicase conserved C-terminal domain; Domain of unknown function DUF1605; Double-stranded RNA-binding domain; Helicase-associated domain; Helicase superfamily 1/2, ATP-binding domain; Helicase associated domain (HA2); P-loop containing nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase; Helicase, C-terminal; Double-stranded RNA binding motif; and Oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-fold. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
rha-1. In C. elegans,
rha-1 is involved in germ cell development and negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic.
