    Summary
    Predicted to enable tRNA dihydrouridine synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA dihydrouridine synthesis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including atrium; ectoderm anlage; embryonic/larval posterior spiracle; extended germ band embryo; and presumptive embryonic/larval system. Orthologous to human DUS2 (dihydrouridine synthase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
