Also Known as BOULE

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 66037

About BOLL

Cytogenetic location: 2q33.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:197,726,890-197,786,206 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 187 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Restricted expression toward testis (RPKM 22.5).

Summary

This gene belongs to the DAZ gene family required for germ cell development. It encodes an RNA-binding protein which is more similar to Drosophila Boule than to human proteins encoded by genes DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) or DAZL (deleted in azoospermia-like). Loss of this gene function results in the absence of sperm in semen (azoospermia). Histological studies demonstrated that the primary defect is at the meiotic G2/M transition. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
