(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID346673
Official gene symbolSTRA8
Full namestimulated by retinoic acid gene 8 homolog (mouse)
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a retinoic acid-responsive protein. A homologous protein in mouse has been shown to be involved in the regulation of meiotic initiation in both spermatogenesis and oogenesis, though feature differences between the mouse and human proteins suggest that these homologs are not entirely functionally equivalent. It is thought that this gene may play a role in spermatogenesis in humans. [provided by RefSeq]
