Gene: GMCL1

Alternate names for this Gene: BTBD13|GCL|GCL1|SPATA29

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a nuclear envelope protein that appears to be involved in spermatogenesis, either directly or by influencing genes that play a more direct role in the process. This multi-exon locus is the homolog of the mouse and drosophila germ cell-less gene but the human genome also contains a single-exon locus on chromosome 5 that contains an open reading frame capable of encoding a highly-related protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p13.3

Description of this Gene: germ cell-less 1, spermatogenesis associated

Type of Gene: protein-coding
