Gene:
pumilio homolog 2 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
199141
Symbol:
PUM2
Species:
1000
Description:
Sequence-specific RNA-binding protein that regulates translation and mRNA stability by binding the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of mRNA targets. Its interactions and tissue specificity suggest that it may be required to support proliferation and self-renewal of stem cells by regulating the translation of key transcripts.
