<i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> homologue of the human azoospermia factor <i>DAZ</i> is required for oogenesis but not for spermatogenesis
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
DAZ (Deleted in Azoospermia), the putative azoospermia factor gene in human, encodes a ribonucleoprotein-type RNA-binding protein required for spermatogenesis. A Drosophila homologue of DAZ, called boule, is also essential for spermatogenesis. A mouse homologue, Dazla, is implicated in both spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Here, we report the identification and characterization of daz-1, the single DAZ homologue in...
