The Mouse Y Chromosome Interval Necessary for Spermatogonial Proliferation is Gene Dense with Syntenic Homology to the Human AZFa Region
1 Oct 1998
Abstract excerpt
The Delta Sxrb deletion interval of the mouse Y chromosome contains Spy, a spermatogenesis factor gene(s) whose expression is essential for the postnatal development of the mitotic germ cells, spermatogonia. The boundaries of Delta Sxrb are defined by the duplicated genes Zfy1 and Zfy2 and four further genes have previously been mapped within the interval: Ube1y and Smcy, linked with Zfy1 on a contig of 250 kb,...
