| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chromatin organization; double-strand break repair via classical nonhomologous end joining; and homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis. Is active in chromatin. Orthologous to human BEND2 (BEN domain containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit male infertility due to azoospermia and increased male germ cell apoptosis with male meiosis arrest at the transition from zygonema to pachynema.
