description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within antral ovarian follicle growth; seminiferous tubule development; and spermatogenesis. Located in nucleus; ooplasm; and sperm head. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human SCAPER (S-phase cyclin A associated protein in the ER).
