Gene information for PIWIL1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9271
Official gene symbolPIWIL1
Full namepiwi-like 1 (Drosophila)
Aliases,HIWI,MIWI,PIWI,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the PIWI subfamily of Argonaute proteins, evolutionarily conserved proteins containing both PAZ and Piwi motifs that play important roles in stem cell self-renewal, RNA silencing, and translational regulation in diverse organisms. The encoded protein may play a role as an intrinsic regulator of the self-renewal capacity of germline and hematopoietic stem cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
