Source: NCBI Gene (ID 84944)
Symbol: MAEL
Full name: maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: CT128; SPATA35
Summary: Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in gamete generation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and piRNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in piP-body. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
