Facts about Pumilio homolog 2.
Mediates post- transcriptional repression of transcripts via different mechanisms: functions via direct recruiting of the CCR4-POP2-NOT deadenylase leading to translational inhibition and mRNA degradation (PubMed:22955276). Acts as a post-transcriptional repressor of E2F3 mRNAs by binding to its 3'-UTR and easing miRNA regulation (PubMed:22345517).

Expressed in male germ cells of adult testis (at protein level). Highly expressed in testis and ovary. Predominantly expressed in stem cells and germ cells. Expressed at lower level in brain, heart, kidney, liver, muscle, placenta, intestine and stomach Expressed in cerebellum, corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, medulla oblongata and putamen. Expressed in all fetal tissues tested.
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. The cytoplasmic granules are stress granules which are a dense aggregation in the cytosol composed of proteins and RNAs that appear when the cell is under stress. Colocalizes with NANOS3 in the stress granules. Colocalizes with NANOS1 and SNAPIN in the perinuclear region of germ cells.
