{"symbol":"TDRD7","synonyms":["CATC4","PCTAIRE2BP"],"name":"tudor domain containing 7","description":"The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Tudor family of proteins. This protein contains conserved Tudor domains and LOTUS domains. It is a component of RNA granules, which function in RNA processing. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cataract formation in mouse and human. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
