stau-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables double-stranded RNA binding activity. Involved in germ cell development and negative regulation of post-transcriptional gene silencing by regulatory ncRNA. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic stress granule; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atherosclerosis. Is an ortholog of human STAU1 (staufen double-stranded RNA binding protein 1).
