GMCL1 germ cell-less 1, spermatogenesis associated

Gene ID: 64395, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GCL; GCL1; BTBD13; SPATA29

Summary

This gene encodes a nuclear envelope protein that appears to be involved in spermatogenesis, either directly or by influencing genes that play a more direct role in the process. This multi-exon locus is the homolog of the mouse and drosophila germ cell-less gene but the human genome also contains a single-exon locus on chromosome 5 that contains an open reading frame capable of encoding a highly-related protein.
