Predicted to enable RNA endonuclease activity; mRNA binding activity; and piRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including germ-line stem cell population maintenance; negative regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on transposable element silencing by piRNA-mediated heterochromatin formation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of meiosis I. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; dense body; and perinucleolar chromocenter. Predicted to be part of PET complex. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. Orthologous to human PIWIL2 (piwi like RNA-mediated gene silencing 2).

Predicted to enable RNA endonuclease activity; mRNA binding activity; and piRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including germ-line stem cell population maintenance; negative regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on piRNA-mediated retrotransposon silencing by heterochromatin formation. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of meiosis I. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; dense body; and perinucleolar chromocenter. Predicted to be part of PET complex. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. Orthologous to human PIWIL2 (piwi like RNA-mediated gene silencing 2); INTERACTS WITH 6-propyl-2-thiouracil; bisphenol A; endosulfan.
