PIWIL1 (N) Antibody, Rabbit Polyclonal

SKU: orb131839

Description

Rabbit polyclonal to PIWIL1. Piwi-like protein 1 (PIWIL1) belongs to the argonaute family and the Piwi subfamily. PIWIL1 plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. PIWIL1 acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons.
