    Summary
    Enables poly(U) RNA binding activity. Involved in central nervous system development and negative regulation of mRNA 3'-end processing. Located in Cajal body. Is expressed in several structures, including adult doublesex neurons; larval midline neurons; sclerite; sense organ; and sensory neurons. Orthologous to human ELAVL3 (ELAV like RNA binding protein 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
