Gene information for BOLL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID66037
Official gene symbolBOLL
Full namebol, boule-like (Drosophila)
Aliases,BOULE,
Gene summaryThis 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]
