Chr: 5 Mapping Details/Browsers

Description

Exhibits piRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including germ-line stem cell population maintenance; negative regulation of SMAD protein complex assembly; and piRNA metabolic process. Localizes to P granule and nucleus. Is expressed in axis; blastoderm; blastodisc; pharyngeal arch 3-7; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human PIWIL2 (piwi like RNA-mediated gene silencing 2).
