Background
This gene encodes an essential structural component of the synaptonemal complex. This complex is involved in synapsis, recombination and segregation of meiotic chromosomes. Mutations in this gene are associated with azoospermia in males and susceptibility to pregnancy loss in females. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
disease:Defects in SYCP3 are associated with azoospermia due to perturbations of meiosis [MIM:270960].,function:Component of the transverse filaments of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase. Has an essential meiotic function in spermatogenesis. May be important for testis development.,similarity:Belongs to the XLR/SYCP3 family.,subcellular location:In tripartite segments of synaptonemal complexes, irrespective of whether these are synapsed or unsynapsed.,subunit:Interacts with SYCP2.,tissue specificity:Testis-specific.,
