Enables RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA) and ribosomal small subunit assembly. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Pwp2p-containing subcomplex of 90S preribosome and small-subunit processome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
