DAZ Family Proteins Exist Throughout Male Germ Cell Development and Transit from Nucleus to Cytoplasm at Meiosis in Humans and Mice1
1 Nov 2000
Abstract excerpt
The human DAZ gene family is expressed in germ cells and consists of a cluster of nearly identical DAZ (deleted in azoospermia) genes on the Y chromosome and an autosomal homolog, DAZL (DAZ-like). Only the autosomal gene is found in mice. Y-chromosome deletions that encompass the DAZ genes are a common cause of spermatogenic failure in men, and autosomal homologs of DAZ are essential for testicular germ cell...
