description | This entry includes human DAZL that belong to the DAZ family. DAZ family members include BOULE, DAZ-Like (DAZL) and DAZ. They are found almost exclusively in germ cells and are key players for germ cell development [, ]. They contain a highly conserved RNA-binding motif (RNA recognition motif; RRM) and a unique DAZ repeat []. Their RRM has been shown to bind 3'-UTR sequences of target mRNAs. They may be involved in regulation of mRNA translation []. |
