Targeting of retrovirus-derived Rtl8a/8b causes late-onset obesity, reduced social response and increased apathy-like behaviour.

Endogenous retrovirus-like proteins recruit UBQLN2 to stress granules and shape their functional biology.

The gag-like gene RTL8 antagonizes PEG10-mediated virus like particles.

RTL8 promotes nuclear localization of UBQLN2 to subnuclear compartments associated with protein quality control.

A family of neofunctionalized Ty3/gypsy retrotransposon genes in mammalian genomes.
