description | Dpy-19-like proteins (DPY19L) constitute a novel transmembrane protein family []. This entry represents DPY19L2. DPY19L2 deletion is a major cause of globozoospermia, a condition characterised by round-headed spermatozoa which results in infertility [, ]. DPY19L2 originated from an initial duplication of DPY19L1 on chromosome 7, followed by a recent relocalisation on chromosome 12 in humans, leaving the initial copy on chromosome 7 as a pseudogene (DPY19L2P1) []. |
