Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Involved in retrotransposon silencing by piRNA-directed DNA methylation. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including male genitalia development; meiotic nuclear division; and regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in meninges; oocyte; sensory organ; and spinal cord mantle layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 25. Orthologous to human TEX15 (testis expressed 15, meiosis and synapsis associated).
