basic FUNCTION
| meiotic regulator,required for germ cell development and encoding an RNA-binding protein |
|
a key conserved switch that regulates progression of germ cells through meiosis |
|
PABP-binding protein that regulate translation in germ cells (Collier 2005) |
|
playing an essential role for meiotic transition and thus for haploid germ cells production |
|
promote later stages of meiosis and development of haploid gametes (Kee 2009) |
|
functioning primarily to promote germ-cell progression to meiosis and formation of haploid germ cells that resemble round spermatids in cellular and molecular characteristics (Kee 2009) |
|
stimulates CDC25A translation, and this effect does not involve alteration of mRNA stability (a decreased CDC25A expression caused by lack or decrease of BOLL may be associated with male infertility) (Lin 2009) |
|
role in spermiogenesis, the differentiation of round spermatids into mature spermatozoa (Van Gompel 2010) |
