    Summary
    Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in neuromuscular synaptic transmission; nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process, nonsense-mediated decay; and synapse organization. Predicted to be part of exon-exon junction complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in adult heart. Orthologous to human UPF2 (UPF2 regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay).

    2. the lethality of upf1 and upf2 mutants is not due to disrupting their roles during Nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMD) -independent processes, but to their function in the degradation of specific mRNAs by the NMD pathway.
