Q8WWH4

Protein name

Ankyrin repeat, SAM and basic leucine zipper domain-containing protein 1 (Ankyrin-like protein 1) (Germ cell-specific ankyrin, SAM and basic leucine zipper domain-containing protein)

Protein function

Plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and preventing their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable

Family and domains
