Description

testis specific protein Y-linked 1

Gene Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is found only in testicular tissue and may be involved in spermatogenesis. Many functional paralogs and pseudogenes of this gene are present in a cluster in humans, but only a single, nonfunctional orthologous gene is found in mouse. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
