    Summary
    Enables ribosomal small subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic hemopoiesis; regulation of cytoplasmic translation; and somatic stem cell division. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval midgut; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; germarium; and mesoderm. Orthologous to human PDCD2 (programmed cell death 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Our results suggest that Zfrp8/PDCD2 functions at late stages of ribosome assembly and may regulate the binding of specific mRNA-RNPs to the small ribosomal subunit ultimately controlling their cytoplasmic localization and translation.
      Title: Zfrp8/PDCD2 Interacts with RpS2 Connecting Ribosome Maturation and Gene-Specific Translation.
    2. demonstrate that Zfrp8 genetically interacts with Fmr1 and tral in an antagonistic manner. Zfrp8 and FMRP both control heterochromatin packaging, also in opposite ways
      Title: Zfrp8 forms a complex with fragile-X mental retardation protein and regulates its localization and function.
    3. The piRNA pathway is essential in early oogenesis, and we find that nuclear localization of Zfrp8 in germline stem cells and their offspring is regulated by some piRNA pathway genes.
      Title: Zfrp8/PDCD2 is required in ovarian stem cells and interacts with the piRNA pathway machinery.
    4. Data find that the conserved factor Zfrp8/PDCD2 is essential for the maintenance of the hematopoietic stem cells, but dispensable for their daughter cells, the pluripotent precursors.
      Title: Hematopoietic stem cells in Drosophila.
    5. Zfrp8 is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation from embryonic stages onward, through the function of the centrosome, and regulates the level and localization of cell-cycle components
      Title: Zfrp8, the Drosophila ortholog of PDCD2, functions in lymph gland development and controls cell proliferation.
