Automated Description
Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of gene expression. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in germ cell; germ line; pharynx; and somatic cell. Used to study Huntington's disease and neurodegenerative disease. Orthologous to human YBX2 (Y-box binding protein 2).
WB Description
cey-2 encodes a cold-shock/Y-box domain-containing protein; by homology, CEY-2 is predicted to function as either an RNA-binding protein involved in translation or RNA processing, or a DNA-binding protein involved in transcriptional regulation; cey-2 mRNA is expressed maternally in the early embryo, in a pattern characteristic of class II maternal RNAs, which are initially detected throughout the embryo but restricted to the P, or germline, lineage as cell division progresses; CEY-2 associates with CGH-1 and CEY-3/4 in cytoplasmic particles of the gonad and early embryo.
