    Summary
    Involved in secondary piRNA processing and transposable element silencing by piRNA-mediated mRNA destabilization. Located in P granule and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain cell body rind; adult optic lobe; egg chamber; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 36. Orthologous to human TDRD7 (tudor domain containing 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
