TEX15 - testis expressed 15, meiosis and synapsis associated Gene
Also Known as CT42; SPGF25
Species: Homo sapiens
About TEX15
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 124 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 7.9) and endometrium (RPKM 3.5).
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is required for DNA double-strand break repair, chromosome synapsis, and meiotic recombination in spermatocytes. Male mice with a knockout of the orthologous gene are viable but sterile. Loss-of-function mutations in the orthologous mouse gene cause early meiotic arrest in spermatocytes, before the mid-pachytene stage. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with nonobstructive azoospermia. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
