Summary: Enables RNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of cell cycle; regulation of translation; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway and oogenesis. Located in P-body; cytoplasmic stress granule; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; metanephros; primordial germ cell; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human NANOS3 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 3).

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.
