Gene: BPIFB2

Alternate names for this Gene: BPIL1|C20orf184|LPLUNC2|RYSR|dJ726C3.2

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lipid transfer/lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LT/LBP) gene family. It is highly expressed in hypertrophic tonsils. This gene and three other members of the LT/LBP gene family form a cluster on the long arm of chromosome 20.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.21

Description of this Gene: BPI fold containing family B member 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: SUN5

Alternate names for this Gene: SPAG4L|SPGF16|TSARG4|dJ726C3.1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene appears to play a role in the meiotic stage of spermatogenesis. The encoded protein localizes to the junction between the sperm head and body and may be involved in nuclear envelope reconstitution and nuclear migration. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in acephalic spermatozoa syndrome.
