UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P25823 (P25823)
Gene Name:
tud
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: May act via the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) metabolic process mediated by aub and AGO3 Piwi proteins, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and governs the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons (PubMed:19959991). Required during oogenesis for the formation of primordial germ cells and for normal abdominal segmentation (PubMed:17428915). Not involved in repression of retroelements (PubMed:17428915)

Protein Subcellular Localization: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule
