(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID442867
Official gene symbolBPY2B
Full namebasic charge, Y-linked, 2B
Aliases,BPY2,BPY2C,VCY2,VCY2B,
Gene summaryThis gene is located in the nonrecombining portion of the Y chromosome, and expressed specifically in testis. The encoded protein interacts with ubiquitin protein ligase E3A and may be involved in male germ cell development and male infertility. Three nearly identical copies of this gene exist on chromosome Y; two copies are part of a palindromic region. This record represents the more centromeric copy within the palindrome.
