MAEL - maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer Gene
Also Known as CT128; SPATA35
Species: Homo sapiens
About MAEL
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants) and 130 orthologues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 61.7).
Summary
Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in gamete generation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and piRNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in piP-body. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
