Source: NCBI Gene (ID 56165)
Symbol: TDRD1
Full name: tudor domain containing 1
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CT41.1
Summary: This gene encodes a protein containing a tudor domain that is thought to function in the suppression of transposable elements during spermatogenesis. The related protein in mouse forms a complex with piRNAs and Piwi proteins to promote methylation and silencing of target sequences. This gene was observed to be upregulated by ETS transcription factor ERG in prostate tumors. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]
Expression: Biased expression in testis (RPKM 8.5) and prostate (RPKM 0.6)
Orthologs: mouse
Gene size: 57793bp
