About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for PIWIL3: This gene encodes a member of the PIWI subfamily of Argonaute family proteins. This subfamily of proteins contains aPAZ domain, found in proteins involved in RNA-mediated gene silencing, and a C-terminal Piwi domain. The encodedprotein is thought to function in maintenance of germline cells. Multiple transcript variants encoding differentisoforms have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: PIWL3_HUMAN, Q7Z3Z3Function: May play a role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization,which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression oftransposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern themethylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds piRNAs, a class of 24 to 30 nucleotide RNAs thatare generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequenceelements. Besides their function in transposable elements repression, piRNAs are probably involved in other processesduring meiosis such as translation regulation (By similarity)
