Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: CS domain; HSP20-like chaperone; N-terminal conserved domain of Nudc.; NudC family; and NudC N-terminal domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans nud-1. In C. elegans, nud-1 is involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; establishment of organelle localization; and vulval development.
