Summary: Enables DEAD/H-box RNA helicase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of development, heterochronic; protein localization to cell cortex; and regulation of establishment of cell polarity. Located in P granule and P-body. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; germ line; gonad; nervous system; and pharynx. Orthologous to human TRIM45 (tripartite motif containing 45).

What's a GeneRIF?

Collectively, these data implicate NHL-2 as an essential hub of gene regulatory activity in both the germline and soma.
Title: The TRIM-NHL protein NHL-2 is a co-factor in the nuclear and somatic RNAi pathways in C. elegans.
NHL-2 is localized to cytoplasmic P-bodies and physically associates with the P-body protein CGH-1 and the core microRNA-induced silencing complex components ALG-1/2 and AIN-1.
