Gene: [08p/CYRN1] cyritestin 1; [ADAM3 ]
|
COM |
By isotopic in situ hybridization, the CYRN1 gene was mapped to Chr 8p21-12 (Adham-1998)." |
|
FUN |
Cyritestin is a cysteine-rich transmembrane protein located in testis, hence its name. Germ cell cyritestin, like other members of the ADAM family of proteins, may be important for sperm-egg fusion during fertilization." |
|
FAG |
Another gene coding for cyritestin 2 is mapped: GEM:16q121/CYRN2. |
