CC -!- FUNCTION: Required for spermatogenesis (PubMed:10369865,
CC PubMed:25503965). Essential for de novo DNA methylation and silencing
CC of transposable elements in the male embryonic germ cells
CC (PubMed:25503965). Not required for piRNA biosynthesis
CC (PubMed:25503965). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369865,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:25503965}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369865,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:25503965}.
CC -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at very low level in male germ cells.
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10369865}.
CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Detected in embryonic testis at embryonic days
CC 14.5 dpc and peaks at 16.5 dpc. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25503965}.
CC -!- DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice show progressive loss of spermatogonia and
CC male infertility (PubMed:10369865, PubMed:25503965). Spermatogenesis is
CC blocked early in meiosis I (PubMed:10369865, PubMed:25503965). Male
CC germ cells show derepression of transposable elements (TEs) and DNA
CC hypomethylation of TEs (PubMed:25503965). Mice display increased
CC depressive-like behavior whereas no behavioral abnormalities regarding
CC locomotor activity or anxiety-like behavior are detectable and BDNF
CC levels in the hippocampus are up-regulated (PubMed:26275923).
