This gene is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export
factor genes. The encoded protein can bind RNA, and is implicated
in mRNA nuclear export. However, this protein has lost several
C-terminal protein domains found in other family members that are
required for export activity, and may be an evolving pseudogene.
Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but
most are candidates for nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and may not
express proteins in vivo.
