TDRD1 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a protein containing a tudor domain that is thought to function in the suppression of transposable elements during spermatogenesis. The related protein in mouse forms a complex with piRNAs and Piwi proteins to promote methylation and silencing of target sequences. This gene was observed to be upregulated by ETS transcription factor ERG in prostate tumors. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human TDRD1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
