Facts about Terminal uridylyltransferase 7.
During 3' terminal uridylation of mRNA, sculpts, with TUT7, the maternal transcriptome by removing transcripts during oocyte growth (By similarity). Involved in microRNA (miRNA)- triggered gene silencing through uridylation of deadenylated miRNA targets (PubMed:25480299).
