gene: nos-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in oogenesis and regulation of cell cycle. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in P0; P4; Z2; and Z3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 12. Is an ortholog of human NANOS1 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 1); NANOS2 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 2); and NANOS3 (nanos C2HC-type zinc finger 3).
