Function | Meiosis-inducer required for the transition into meiosis for both female and male germ cells. In female germ cells, acts downstream of ZGLP1 as a key effector of the meiotic program: required for premeiotic DNA replication and subsequent events in meiotic prophase. During spermatogenesis, next to its role in meiotic initiation, promotes (but is not required for) spermatogonial differentiation. In complex with MEIOSIN, directly activates the transcription of a subset of critical meiotic genes playing a central role in cell-cycle switching from mitosis to meiosis. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70278}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70278}. Note=Shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear export is XPO1-dependent {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P70278} |
Tissue Location | Expressed specifically in testis and fetal ovaries. |

Background
This gene encodes a retinoic acid-responsive protein. Ahomologous protein in mouse has been shown to be involved in theregulation of meiotic initiation in both spermatogenesis andoogenesis, though feature differences between the mouse and humanproteins suggest that these homologs are not entirely functionallyequivalent. It is thought that this gene may play a role inspermatogenesis in humans.
