TDRD5 Proteins and Enzymes

TDRD5 is a gene that codes for a protein with two isoforms, measuring 981 and 1035 amino acids in length with weights of approximately 110 and 116 kDa respectively. TDRD5 is required during spermiogenesis, as it helps to repress transposable elements and prevent their mobilization, and it is also required for chromatid body assembly. Current research is being done on diseases and disorders related to this gene including hypertension. TDRD5 has been shown to have interactions with UBR7.
