SYCP2 synaptonemal complex protein 2

Gene ID: 10388, updated on 15-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCP2; SCP-2; SPGF1

Summary

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure that links homologous chromosomes during the prophase of meiosis. The protein encoded by this gene is a major component of the synaptonemal complex and may bind DNA at scaffold attachment regions. The encoded protein requires synaptonemal complex protein 3, but not 1, for inclusion in the synaptonemal complex. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
