What is the function of this protein?
Required during spermatogenesis for normal chromosome synapsis and meiotic recombination in germ cells.  Necessary for formation of DMC1 and RAD51 foci on meiotic chromosomes, suggesting a specific role in DNA double-stranded break repair (By similarity).  Essential executor of PIWIL4-piRNA pathway directed transposon DNA methylation and silencing in the male embryonic germ cells (By similarity).  PIWIL4-piRNA binds to nascent transposon transcripts and interacts with TEX15, which may in turn recruit the epigenetic silencing machinery to the transposon loci (By similarity).  Not required for piRNA biosynthesis (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Testis-expressed protein 15, Cancer/testis antigen 42, CT42.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the TEX15 family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
