Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 71846 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in cell division. Predicted to act upstream of or within synaptonemal complex assembly. Located in central element. Is expressed in primary spermatocyte and spermatocyte. Orthologous to human SYCE2 (synaptonemal complex central element protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homogyzous for a null mutation are infertile with decreases in testis and ovary weights, arrest of spermatogenesis, and abnormal meiosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
