Rec8 REC8 meiotic recombination protein [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 56739)
Symbol: Rec8
Full name: REC8 meiotic recombination protein
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Rec8L1; mrec
Summary: Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gamete generation; seminiferous tubule development; and synaptonemal complex assembly. Located in kinetochore; lateral element; and male germ cell nucleus. Part of nuclear meiotic cohesin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human REC8 (REC8 meiotic recombination protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
