This gene encodes a protein containing a tudor domain that is thought to function in the suppression of transposable elements during spermatogenesis. The related protein in mouse forms a complex with piRNAs and Piwi proteins to promote methylation and silencing of target sequences. This gene was observed to be upregulated by ETS transcription factor ERG in prostate tumors. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]
