UniProt functional annotation for Q99598

UniProt code: Q99598.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Acts in combination with TSN as an endonuclease involved in the activation of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Possible role in spermatogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12036294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21552258}.
 
Subunit: Ring-shaped heterooctamer of six TSN and two TSNAX subunits. Interacts with GOLGA3, TSNAXIP1, SUN1 and AKAP9. Interacts with the homodimeric form of C1D following gamma-radiation. Interacts with TSN and C1D in a mutually exclusive manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11801738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12036294, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15919079, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21552258, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9013868}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus. Note=Accumulate in the Golgi complex of mid- late pachytene spermatocytes (By similarity). Expressed in the cytoplasm in the presence of TSN. {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Sumoylated with SUMO1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561718}.
Similarity: Belongs to the translin family. {ECO:0000305}.
