The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000080608 (PUM3, pumilio RNA binding family member 3) is as follows. Inhibits the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation activity of PARP1 and the degradation of PARP1 by CASP3 following genotoxic stress (PubMed:21266351). Binds to double-stranded RNA or DNA without sequence specificity (PubMed:25512524). Involved in development of the eye and of primordial germ cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:X1WGX5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21266351, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25512524}.
