Summary | This gene encodes a member of the evolutionarily conserved Pumilio and Fem-3 mRNA-binding factor family of proteins, which are characterized by tandem 36 amino acid pumilio homolog domains and which function in diverse biological processes. This protein belongs to a group of atypical Pumilio and Fem-3 mRNA-binding factor proteins, whose members are distinguished from other Pumilio and Fem-3 mRNA-binding factor proteins by a novel protein fold with 11 pumilio homolog domains and an ability to bind to DNA and single- and double-stranded RNA without sequence specificity. In mouse, lower levels of gene expression have been correlated with increased testicular germ cell tumors. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]. |
