Summary

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]

Forensic Context

A study in humans identified the TDRD1 as a potential biomarker for sepsis diagnosis, where it was found to be lowly expressed in the sepsis group based on RNA sequencing data and its mRNA expression pattern was consistent with its corresponding protein according to nine-quadrant analysis [Wang et al. DOI:10.2147/IDR.S380137].
