puf-9 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA catabolic process and negative regulation of translation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including HSN; gonad; ventral nerve cord; vulval muscle; and vulval precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia type 47. Is an ortholog of human PUM2 (pumilio RNA binding family member 2).
