Putative biological functions of the DAZ family.

International journal of andrology - 1 Jun 2004

Yen Pauline H

Abstract excerpt

The Deleted in Azoospermia (DAZ) gene belongs to a gene family that consists of three members: BOULE, DAZ-Like (DAZL) and DAZ. Members of the DAZ family are expressed exclusively in the germ cells, and their protein products contain a highly conserved RNA-binding motif and a unique DAZ repeat. Null mutations of the DAZ family members affect the fertility of either male or female, or both sexes. DAZ and DAZL are...
