Anti-PATL2 Antibody Picoband®

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in P-body assembly and deadenylation-dependent decapping of nuclear-transcribed mRNA. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of cytoplasmic mRNA processing body assembly. Located in cytoplasm.

Required for DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) formation in unsynapsed regions during meiotic recombination. Probably acts by forming a complex with MEI4 and REC114, which activates DSBs formation in unsynapsed regions, an essential step to ensure completion of synapsis. Not required for HORMAD1 functions in pairing-independent synaptonemal complex formation, ATR recruitment to unsynapsed axes, meiotic silencing of unsynapsed chromatin (MSUC) or meiotic surveillance.
