Summary
Involved in several processes, including activation of meiosis; cellular response to retinoic acid; and germ cell development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; ganglia; gonad; spleen primordium; and trophoblast giant cell. Orthologous to human STRA8 (stimulated by retinoic acid 8).

  9. Here, the authors examined cells undergoing meiotic initiation in mice, and found that initiation involves the dramatic upregulation of a transcriptional network of thousands of genes whose expression is not limited to meiosis. This broad gene expression program is directly upregulated by STRA8, encoded by a germ cell-specific gene required for meiotic initiation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
