BPY2 basic charge Y-linked 2

Gene ID: 9083, updated on 10-Oct-2023
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: VCY2; BPY2A; VCY2A

Summary

This 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 copy outside of the palidromic region.
