72634 Q80VL1 TDRKH_MOUSE Tudor and KH domain-containing protein (Tudor domain-containing protein 2) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Male mice are sterile due to defects in male meiosis, piRNA production defects, DNA demethylation of LINE-1 (L1) transposable elements and an increase in L1 expression in the adult testis. Mutants have severely reduced levels of mature piRNAs and accumulate 1'U-containing, 2'O-methylated 31-37 nt RNAs that complement the missing mature piRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23714778}.
