Description
Product Characteristics: This gene encodes a male meiotic metaphase chromosome-associated acidic protein. This gene is expressed in tissues with motile cilia or flagella, including the trachea, lungs, airway brushings, and testes. Mutations in this gene result in primary ciliary dyskinesia-24. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Target Information: The specific expression during male germ cell development and its characteristic localization suggest that it may play an important role in male meiosis
