This gene encodes a secreted protein that is exclusively expressed in oocytes. Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.2**
This gene encodes a member of the deoxyribonuclease family and the protein shows high sequence similarity to lysosomal DNase I. In contrast to the human and mouse orthologs, porcine and bovine mRNAs for this gene use a conserved CUG triplet for translation initiation. [provided by RefSeq].1*
The product of this gene is a zinc finger protein with nine Cis[2]-His[2] zinc finger domains. It functions as an RNA polymerase III transcription factor to induce transcription of the 5S rRNA genes. The protein binds to a 50 bp internal promoter in the 5S genes called the internal control region (ICR), and nucleates formation of a stable preinitiation complex. This complex recruits the TFIIIC and TFIIIB transcription factors and RNA polymerase III to form the complete transcription complex. The protein is thought to be translated using a non-AUG translation initiation site in mammals based on sequence analysis, protein homology, and the size of the purified protein.
