Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Involved in female meiosis sister chromatid cohesion; meiotic chromosome segregation; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; meiosis I cell cycle process; and sperm DNA condensation. Located in condensed chromosome and germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and primordial germ cell. Used to study azoospermia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spermatogenic failure 4. Orthologous to human SYCP3 (synaptonemal complex protein 3).

What's a GeneRIF?

SYCP1 and SYCP3 act at the centromeres to promote the establishment and/or maintenance of centromere pairing and, by doing so, improve the segregation fidelity of mammalian meiotic chromosomes.
Title: Synaptonemal complex components persist at centromeres and are required for homologous centromere pairing in mouse spermatocytes.
Unlike other vertebrates, rat and mouse SYCP3 exists in 2 isoforms; the short isoform is conserved in vertebrates and the longer isoform, appeared 15 million years ago in a common ancestor of rat and mouse and after separation from the hamster branch.
Title: Synaptonemal complex protein SYCP3 exists in two isoforms showing different conservation in mammalian evolution.
X-linked lymphocyte-regulated protein pM1 (XMR), XLR, and SCP3 render tumor cells resistant to antitumor immunity
Title: Ectopic expression of X-linked lymphocyte-regulated protein pM1 renders tumor cells resistant to antitumor immunity.
The SYCP3 is expressed in germ cell-like cells. The nuclear distribution of SYCP3 in the germ cell-like cells is highly abnormal and not associated with the chromosomes of these cells.
Title: Mouse embryonic stem cells form follicle-like ovarian structures but do not progress through meiosis.
In Scp3-deficient (knockout) mice, spermatogenesis and testicular degeneration are augmented when E2F1 is also deficient.
Title: E2F1 deficiency impairs murine spermatogenesis and augments testicular degeneration in SCP3-nullizygous mice.
SYCP3 has a temporally restricted role in maintaining, but not establishing, cohesin-core organization during prophase I.
Title: SYCP2 and SYCP3 are required for cohesin core integrity at diplotene but not for centromere cohesion at the first meiotic division.
Rad21, and the superimposed SCP3 and SCP2, are involved in the monopolar attachment of sister kinetochores during meiosis I

absence of synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3) promotes aneuploidy in murine oocytes by inducing defective meiotic chromosome segregation
Title: Female germ cell aneuploidy and embryo death in mice lacking the meiosis-specific protein SCP3.
SYCP2 and SYCP3 proteins function in the specificity of chromatin attachment to the chromosome core
Title: Male mouse meiotic chromosome cores deficient in structural proteins SYCP3 and SYCP2 align by homology but fail to synapse and have possible impaired specificity of chromatin loop attachment.
DNA double-stranded breaks are inefficiently repaired in Sycp3(-)(/)(-) oocytes, thereby generating a temporal spectrum of recombination errors. T

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.
