    Summary
    Predicted to enable double-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; ovarian follicle development; and spermatogenesis. Located in recombination nodule and synaptonemal complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gonad; heart; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ovarian insufficiency and spermatogenic failure 2. Orthologous to human MSH4 (mutS homolog 4).

    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.
