Description
Product Characteristics: RBMY1A1 is a protein containing an RNA-binding motif in the N-terminus and four SRGY (serine, arginine, glycine, tyrosine) boxes in the C-terminus. The gene that encodes RBMY1A1 is Y-linked. RBMY1A1 may be involved in spermatogenesis. It is required for sperm development, possibly by participating in pre-mRNA splicing in the testis.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein containing an RNA-binding motif in the N-terminus and four SRGY (serine, arginine, glycine, tyrosine) boxes in the C-terminus. Multiple copies of this gene are found in the AZFb azoospermia factor region of chromosome Y and the encoded protein is thought to be involved in spermatogenesis. Most copies of this locus are pseudogenes, although six highly similar copies have full-length ORFs and are considered functional. Four functional copies of this gene are found within inverted repeat IR2\, two functional copies of this gene are found in palindrome P3, along with two copies of PTPN13-like, Y-linked.
