Summary: This gene encodes a member of the depleted in azoospermia-like (DAZL) protein family. Members of this family contain an RNA recognition motif, interact with poly A binding proteins, and may be involved in the initiation of translation. The encoded protein is expressed in the cytoplasm of pluripotent stem cells, and in both male and female germ cells, where it is essential for gametogenesis. Disruption of this gene is associated with infertility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]

Somatic cell-derived BMPs induce premature meiosis in male germ cells during the embryonic stage by upregulating Dazl expression.
Title: Somatic cell-derived BMPs induce premature meiosis in male germ cells during the embryonic stage by upregulating Dazl expression.
The RNA-binding protein DAZL functions as repressor and activator of mRNA translation during oocyte maturation. Mutagenesis of putative DAZL-binding sites in these mRNAs mimics the effect of DAZL depletion. These findings demonstrate that DAZL regulates translation of maternal mRNAs, functioning both as the translational repressor and activator during oocyte maturation.

These DAZL functions as a master regulator of a post-transcriptional mRNA program essential for germ cell survival.

Title: DAZL and CPEB1 regulate mRNA translation synergistically during oocyte maturation.
findings demonstrate that DAZL associates with mRNA of Tet1, a catalyst of 5-hydroxylation of methyl-cytosine, and enhances Tet1 mRNA translation; DAZL enhances TET1-mediated cytosine hydroxymethylation in embryonic stem cells that are actively reprogramming to a pluripotent ground state
Title: DAZL regulates Tet1 translation in murine embryonic stem cells.
Both yeast and mouse contain an RNA-binding protein, Rim4 and DAZL, respectively, that functions in translation and forms SDS-resistant aggregates during gametogenesis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
