Mael - maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer

Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in gamete generation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and piRNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. Orthologous to human MAEL (maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
