NANOS1

Functionⁱ

May act as a translational repressor which regulates translation of specific mRNAs by forming a complex with PUM2 that associates with the 3'-UTR of mRNA targets. Capable of interfering with the proadhesive and anti-invasive functions of E-cadherin. Up-regulates the production of MMP14 to promote tumor cell invasion.2 Publications

Involvement in diseaseⁱ

Spermatogenic failure 12 (SPGF12)1 Publication

The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Disease descriptionAn infertility disorder caused by spermatogenesis defects. It results in decreased sperm motility, concentration, and multiple sperm structural defects. Non-obstructive azoospermia, oligozoospermia and oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia are features observed in SPGF12 patients.

Expressionⁱ

Tissue specificityⁱ

Testis and ovary (at protein level). Predominantly expressed in testis. Specifically expressed during germline development. In adult tissues, it is mainly expressed in spermatogonia, the stem cells of the germline. Also expressed during meiosis in spermatocytes. Not present in late, post-meiotic stage germ cells. Expressed in fetal ovaries, while it is weakly or not expressed in mature postmeiotic oocytes, suggesting that it may be expressed in premeiotic female germ cells. Expressed at high levels only in the E-cadherin deficient cell lines. Highly expressed in lung carcinomas and mostly detected in invasive tumor cells and its expression correlates with tumor aggressiveness.5 Publications
