Gene Summary

Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; germ-line stem cell population maintenance; and negative regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule and postsynapse of neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including germarium region 1; germarium region 2; germarium region 2a; germarium region 3; and germline cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 12. Orthologous to human NANOS1 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 1); NANOS2 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 2); and NANOS3 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
