Its expression is restricted to premeiotic germ cells, particularly in spermatogonia. It encodes an RNA-binding protein that is important for spermatogenesis. Four copies of this gene are found on chromosome Y within palindromic duplications; one pair of genes is part of the P2 palindrome and the second pair is part of the P1 palindrome. Each gene contains a 2.4 kb repeat including a 72-bp exon, called the DAZ repeat; the number of DAZ repeats is variable and there are several variations in the sequence of the DAZ repeat. Each copy of the gene also contains a 10.8 kb region that may be amplified; this region includes five exons that encode an RNA recognition motif (RRM) domain. This gene contains one copy of the 10.8 kb repeat. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: RNA-binding protein that plays an essential role in spermatogenesis. May act by binding to the 3'-UTR of mRNAs and regulating their translation. |RRM 1| |translation activator activity| |3-UTR-mediated mRNA stabilization| |positive regulation of translational initiation| |mRNA stabilization| |RNA stabilization| |negative regulation of mRNA catabolic process| |negative regulation of RNA catabolic process| |mRNA 3-UTR binding| |negative regulation of mRNA metabolic process| |regulation of translational initiation| |positive regulation of translation| |positive regulation of cellular amide metabolic process| |regulation of mRNA stability| |regulation of RNA stability| |regulation of mRNA catabolic process| |negative regulation of cellular catabolic process| |germ cell development| |negative regulation of catabolic process| |regulation of mRNA metabolic process| |regulation of translation| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |regulation of cellular amide metabolic process| |posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression| |spermatogenesis| |male gamete generation| |protein-containing complex| |developmental process involved in reproduction| |gamete generation| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |regulation of cellular catabolic process| |multicellular organism reproduction| |multi-organism reproductive process| |regulation of catabolic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process| |cell development| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found. ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:h:hgc6.3|HGC6.3]]|0.503| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: N/A ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 7541 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 2.59 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
