Dnd1: Proteins and Enzymes

RNA-binding factor that positively regulates gene expression by prohibiting miRNA-mediated gene suppression.Relieves miRNA repression in germline cells . Prohibits the function of several miRNAs by blocking theaccessibility of target mRNAs. Sequence-specific RNA-binding factor that binds specifically to U-rich regions (URRs)in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of several mRNAs. Does not bind to miRNAs. May play a role during primordialgerm cell (PGC) survival . However, does not seem to be essential for PGC migration
