Piwil2 - piwi-like RNA-mediated gene silencing 2 Gene

Mus musculus

Also known as mili; Piwil1l

Gene ID: 57746 | Gene type: protein coding

About Piwil2

Summary

Enables RNA binding activity; endoribonuclease activity; and polysome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including germ-line stem cell population maintenance; nucleic acid metabolic process; and positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within oogenesis and positive regulation of meiosis I. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; dense body; and perinucleolar chromocenter. Part of PET complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PIWIL2 (piwi like RNA-mediated gene silencing 2).
