Entrez gene summary
This gene is a member of a gene family which arose through duplication on the X chromosome. The encoded protein may be a nuclear protein that is localized to the nucleolus, and has some similarity to a synaptonemal complex protein. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
