| Type: | Family | Name: | Mago nashi protein |
| Description: | This family was originally identified in drosophila and called mago nashi, it is a strict maternal effect, grandchildless-like, gene []. The human homologue has been shown to interact with an RNA binding protein, ribonucleoprotein rbm8 () []. An RNAi knockout of the Caenorhabditis eleganshomologue causes masculinization of the germ line (Mog phenotype) hermaphrodites, suggesting it is involved in hermaphrodite germ-line sex determination [] but the protein is also found in hermaphrodites and other organisms without a sexual differentiation. | Short Name: | Mago_nashi |
