[5][6][7] The protein encoded by this gene is found in eosinophil granulocytes.

It is closely related to the eosinophil cationic protein (RNASE3) from which it diverged ~50 million years ago after the split between the old world and the new world monkeys.

It is capable of reducing the activity of single strand RNA viruses in culture through its enzymatic activity.
