| Function |
Required during spermatogenesis and placenta development, probably by participating to the repression of retrotransposable elements and prevent their mobilization. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Note=Cytoplasmic localization is distinct from the meiotic nuage, also named P granule, a germ-cell-specific organelle required to repress transposon activity during meiosis. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in testis. Expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18096721, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18160741}.
