epitope corresponding to amino acids 471-560 mapping within an internal region of HILI2 of human origin
Modification Notes
HILI2 (Piwi-like protein 4) is a 852 amino acid protein encoded by the human gene PIWIL4. HILI2 belongs to the argonaute family and contains one PAZ domain and one Piwi domain. HILI2 is a cytoplasmic protein that is expressed in adult testis. It regulates spermatogenesis and primordial germ cell production and has an essential role in meiotic differentiation of spermatocytes and in self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells. HILI2-null mice are of normal size and weight and have the expected life span. Homozygous HILI2-null females are fertile and have no obvious defects. However, HILI2-deficient males are infertile and show a meiotic progression defect in early prophase of meiosis I and progressive loss of germ cells with age. Mutant males show elevated expression of LINE-1 and intracisternal A particle (IAP) element transcripts in germ cell lineages.
