About TEX15

Cytogenetic location: 8p12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:30,831,544-30,913,008 (from NCBI)

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]
