SYCE3

Gene
SYCE3
Protein
Synaptonemal complex central element protein 3
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
88 amino acids
Function
Major component of the transverse central element of synaptonemal complexes (SCS), formed between homologous chromosomes during meiotic prophase. Required for chromosome loading of the central element-specific SCS proteins, and for initiating synapsis between homologous chromosomes. Chromosome loading appears to require SYCP1. Required for fertility.

Required for chromosome loading of the central element-specific SCS proteins, and for initiating synapsis between homologous chromosomes. Chromosome loading appears to require SYCP1. Required for fertility. May play a role in apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and pathogenesis of cryptorchidism.
