Function
Nucleic acid-binding protein which is essential for retrotransposition of LINE-1 elements in the genome. Functions as a nucleic acid chaperone binding its own transcript and therefore preferentially mobilizing the transcript from which they are encoded.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus, nucleolus; Cytoplasm; Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; Cytoplasm, Stress granule
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in meiotic spermatocytes and in the cerebellum (at protein level)
