About SPANXD

Cytogenetic location: Xq27.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:141,697,411-141,698,739 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 3 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 8.6).

Summary

Temporally regulated transcription and translation of several testis-specific genes is required to initiate the series of molecular and morphological changes in the male germ cell lineage necessary for the formation of mature spermatozoa. This gene is a member of the SPANX family of Cancer/testis-associated genes, which are located in a cluster on chromosome X. The SPANX genes encode differentially expressed testis-specific proteins that localize to various subcellular compartments. This particular gene encodes a sperm protein that is associated with the nucleus but, although a role in spermatogenesis is suggested, the specific function of this family member has not yet been determined. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with prostate Cancer susceptibility. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
