    Summary
    Enables nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including female germ-line sex determination; oogenesis; and regulation of RNA splicing. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult midgut epithelial cell; antennal lobe local neurons; germline cell; and somatic precursor cell.
