It is also found in abundance in the germ cells of testis and ovary. This protein is thought to play a regulatory role in keratinocyte proliferation and it may also be a regulator for rRNA transcription. Disruption of this gene has been implicated in premature ovarian failure as well as testicular premature aging.
