• Background: PIWIL2 belongs to the Argonaute family of proteins; which function in development and maintenance of germline stem cells. Plays a central role during spermatogenesis by repressing transposable elements and prevent their mobilization; which is essential for the germline integrity. Plays an essential role in meiotic differentiation of spermatocytes; germ cell differentiation and in self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells. Its presence in oocytes suggests that it may participate in similar functions during oogenesis in females. Indirectly modulate expression of genes such as PDGFRB; SLC2A1; ITGA6; GJA7; THY1; CD9 and STRA8. Inhibits tumor cell growth when repressed. When overexpressed; acts as an oncogene by inhibition of apoptosis and promotion of proliferation in tumors
