UniProtKB description:  RNA-binding protein which binds to RNA with no sequence specificity (PubMed:20948543). Probably represses translation of specific mRNAs (By similarity). Essential for the development of primordial germ cells (PGCs) by ensuring their proper migration and survival but is not required for PGC specification (PubMed:11691838, PubMed:17418113). Also required to maintain oocyte production in the adult ovary (PubMed:17418113, PubMed:23228893). Negatively regulates phosphorylation of myosin mylpfa/mylz2 (PubMed:20673786).
