gene: oma-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity and mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; oocyte development; and regulation of reproductive process. Located in P granule and centrosome. Part of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex. Expressed in several structures, including head muscle; neurons; oocyte; somatic nervous system; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human ZFP36L1 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 1) and ZFP36L2 (ZFP36 ring finger protein like 2).
