Rabbit Anti-TDRD9/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Probable ATP-binding RNA helicase which plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Its association with PIWIL4 and the piP-bodies suggests a participation in the secondary piRNAs metabolic process.

Subunit:
Interacts with piRNA-associated proteins PIWIL1 and PIWIL4
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Component of the nuage, also named P granule, a germ-cell-specific organelle required to repress transposon during meiosis. Specifically localizes to piP-bodies, a subset of the nuage which contains secondary piRNAs. PIWIL2 is required for its localization to piP-bodies.
Similarity:
Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily.
Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
Contains 1 helicase SLCterminal domain.
Contains 1 Tudor domain.
