关于 PIWIL3

功能概要

该基因编码 Argonaute 家族蛋白的 PIWI 亚家族成员。该蛋白质亚家族包含一个 PAZ 结构域 (在参与 RNA 介导的基因沉默的蛋白质中发现) 和一个 C 端 Piwi 结构域。编码的蛋白质被认为在维持生殖系细胞中起作用。已发现该基因编码不同异构体的多个转录变体。[RefSeq 提供，2011 年 12 月]

This gene encodes a member of the PIWI subfamily of Argonaute family proteins. This subfamily of proteins contains a PAZ domain, found in proteins involved in RNA-mediated gene silencing, and a C-terminal Piwi domain. The encoded protein is thought to function in maintenance of germline cells. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
