Description |
piwi-like RNA-mediated gene silencing 4 |
| Gene Summary |
Enables molecular adaptor activity and piRNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on transposable element silencing by heterochromatin formation. Located in nucleus and piP-body. Is expressed in embryo; germ cell of testis; testis; and trunk unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human PIWIL4 (piwi like RNA-mediated gene silencing 4).
